Broadly defined, my professional interests lie in clinical research focused on understanding the cognitive, emotional, interpersonal, and developmental mechanisms of anxiety disorders and their effective treatment. I am especially interested in the integration of basic and clinical research strategies, with a focus on translating research on key processes and mechanisms into innovative interventions for treating pathological anxiety.
