Research & Contributions

I believe research plays a critical role in improving our understanding and treatment of mental health. I maintain an active involvement in research activities, and have contributed to over 30 peer-reviewed articles and 80 professional presentations, including work on DBT, reproductive psychology, trauma/PTSD, grief, anxiety, OCD, and more.
