Research

  • I study maladaptive behaviors, such as self-injury and aggression, theorized
    - at least in part - to stem from emotion-regulation difficulties. I study
    these behaviors and their proposed underlying mechanisms from a
    psychotherapeutic and epidemiological perspective. Beyond studying these
    phenotypes in registries and evaluating if our treatments are efficacious, I
    aim to design trials that examine key mechanisms through which treatments
    work. This has the potential of making already effective treatments even more
    effective and can deepen our understanding of the etiologies of different
    phenomenon.
