About

I am a clinical psychologist postdoctoral fellow at the Emory University School of Medicine, researching how to improve the development and implementation of mental health interventions for global groups.

I have two main research interests. The first is studying and standardizing the training of supervised, or lay, mental health providers: a potential answer to the treatment gap in psychotherapy.

The second is improving assessment and intervention of sexual violence among displaced women and girls.

I am looking forward to a research-oriented career improving the reach and effectiveness of clinical interventions.

  • Research

    I am passionate about the potential for clinical research to address the treatment gap in clinical psychology. I have worked on multiple R01 grants, am currently in the process of submitting a grant which will conduct a non-inferiority trial of supervised therapists with refugee backgrounds compared with expert clinicians.

  • Clinical Work

    I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I have a passion for evidence-supported interventions, and am familiar with CBT, CPT, CBT, and the UP.

    I have worked with community clinics, medical centers, and developed an assessment clinic for refugees in Albuquerque with cognitive concerns. Currently I work at the Nia Project at Grady Hospital in Atlanta.

  • Teaching

    Teaching has the capacity to disseminate knowledge of clinical psychology both to people who plan on pursuing the field, and to the many people who are fascinated by the work, without it being their calling.

    I thoroughly enjoy teaching and helping to train new
