About
Biography
I am a clinical neuropsychologist who specializes in assessing and treating mood and anxiety disorders, especially in late adolescents and young adults. My research efforts are focused on key life transitions where support systems and stressors may change, increasing the risk for emergence or exacerbation of brain illnesses. I strive to better understand what causes mood disorders, with the ultimate goal of improving patients’ quality of life. My current projects also include developing and adapting innovative biological and cognitive tools to better identify, support and treat individuals with mood disorders.
