My research focus is built on understanding the psychophysiological and neural correlates of abnormal fear processing, which underlie psychiatric illnesses such as anxiety-spectrum disorders. Most importantly, I am interested in how these correlates may inform treatment plans and contribute to improved patient outcomes. Through clinically-driven translational research, I am hopeful that more precise treatment strategies may be developed, leading to a marked reduction in morbidity associated with psychiatric illness. 

As a general resident psychiatrist, my clinical focus is on caring for individuals struggling with psychiatric distress across the lifespan. However, within psychiatry, I am particularly interested in treating teenagers and young adults struggling with anxiety and mood disorders. I use both evidence-based psychotherapy and pharmacologic interventions to help patients and their families thrive and achieve their maximum potential.
