Biography
Professional & Research Interests
I conduct research on the treatment and prevention of high levels of anxiety and depression,
and approach this work using various methods, including psychophysiological ones.
The work aligns with treatment approaches and delivery methods that reduce barriers
to care, particularly in rural populations. I collaborate with faculty and students
in psychology, counseling, education and engineering. My teaching areas include courses
at the graduate and undergraduate levels in psychology.
