Bio
I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in the assessment and treatment of individuals with substance use and comorbid psychiatric disorders. In addition to individual therapy, I facilitate a weekly Relapse Prevention Group based on cognitive-behavioral principles. Within the Department, I train and supervise psychology doctoral students and psychiatry residents.
I received my BA in Liberal Studies from the University of Notre Dame, IN. I completed both my master's and PhD in clinical psychology from Duke University, NC. I further completed a postdoctoral fellowship focused on substance use disorders from Brown University/Providence VA Medical Center, RI.
My research focuses on alcohol and cannabis co-use, opioid use disorder, and psychosocial interventions for substance use disorders.
