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.
