Research Interests

Research interests include the biopsychosocial measurement, assessment, and treatments of anxiety, mood, and somatic disorders, focusing on transdiagnostics, fundamental cognitions (i.e., lower-order factors such as intolerance of uncertainty), and shared emergent properties (i.e., higher-order factors such as extraversion).

Representative Projects

• Modifying cognitive biases in social anxiety: Exploring new avenues for treatment
• Trauma, pain, and fear: Using the startle paradigm to explore the relationship between PTSD and chronic pain
