Profile

My areas of research interest are technology applications to reduce barriers to adherence, mood disorders, and cognitive behavioral therapy homework. My doctoral dissertation research involved the development and testing of a questionnaire to measure barriers to the completion of cognitive behavioral therapy homework in depressed outpatients. I then went on to do a T32 Postdoctoral Fellowship focusing on technology interventions. I am currently an NIH K12 Clinical Research Scholar through the Clinical Translational Science Institute. I am working on developing a SmartPhone Application to improve adherence to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Homework.
