About
Biography
I provide evidence-based interventions for mood, anxiety, and personality disorders. I specialize in mindfulness-based interventions and directs the mindfulness-based cognitive therapy program. I am actively involved in research, education, and administrative efforts.
My research has concentrated on the characterization of interpersonal functioning in individuals with disorders of emotion dysregulation. I have a particular interest in methods that examine social networks characteristics as indices of interpersonal dysfunction. In addition to this, I am currently interested in understanding the effect of mindfulness-based interventions on populations with comorbid mental and physical illnesses and investigating the role of mindfulness on interpersonal processes.
