Postdoctoral Fellow, Psychology Department, Harvard University

I am interested in factors that influence our unconscious behaviors (e.g., implicit social beliefs) and conditions under which these unintentional behaviors can be malleable. To address this issue, I use different techniques, including behavioral paradigms, event-related potentials (ERPs) and non-invasive brain stimulation (i.e., transcranial magnetic stimulation, TMS; transcranial direct current stimulation, tDCS).

My research interests are broadly focused on cognitive and emotional risk factors for poor psychosocial outcomes (e.g., depression, suicide risk, functional impairment) in individuals with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). I have recently extended this research to better understand risk factors for poor psychosocial outcomes among medical patients who are facing changes to their physical appearance due to illness. Additionally, I am interested in issues of access to empirically supported treatments and how technology may be used to improve treatment access.
