I received my Bachelors from The Ohio State University where I worked on a project looking at the predictors of treatment utilization in families with children with Early Onset Bipolar Disorder (EOBD). My research interests include emotional numbing, peer victimization in children and adolescents and the role of PTSD particularly emotional numbing can play, acceptance based behavior therapy.

Since I am still relatively new to Boston, exploring New England is something I enjoy when I have a weekend off. I moved to the right area because baseball is my spring/summer, so starting in April, I am usually found watching baseball if I am not at the game. I also enjoy spending time with my family, particularly running with my husband and two dogs Leo and Cueball.
