Clinical/Research Interest

My primary clinical and research interests center around personality disorders, with a focus on borderline personality disorder and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I am particularly interested in adaptations of DBT, including DBT adapted for the day hospital setting and DBT adapted for comorbid borderline personality disorder and substance use disorders. Additional research interests include trauma, PTSD, and personality assessment.
