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