Research Program


My program of research centers on understanding how and for whom psychological treatments work, particularly for adults with emotion dysregulation. I am especially interested in integrating physiological and neural measures (e.g., heart rate variability, event-related potentials), therapist and patient process data, and advanced longitudinal modeling approaches to examine mechanisms of change in psychotherapy and individual predictors of treatment response. My dissertation research, funded in part by a Training Fellowship from the Society for Psychophysiological Research, investigates targeted mechanisms in the transdiagnostic treatment of perseverative negative thinking using neural and cardiac indices.
