I am a research clinical psychologist, using clinical experience to inform my laboratory science. My work in experimental psychology seeks to develop empirically-driven innovations in cognitive therapy (“CBT”). My clinical expertise is in trauma memory, with current work also reaching into depression. The key psychological processes I seek to understand are mental imagery and cognitive biases.
