Research Summary
My research, conducted within the Anxiety, Stress, and Prolonged Grief Program at NYU Langone's Department of Psychiatry, primarily focuses on exercise interventions for anxiety and mood disorders and factors that impact changes in mood and anxiety and exercise engagement. I am interested in the psychological and biological mechanisms of change involved in treatment response as well as factors that promote behavioral change, especially engagement in exercise to improve mood. If you are interested in participating in an exercise research study examining two types of exercise programs and their effects on anxiety and exercise, please visit the Anxiety, Stress, and Prolonged Grief Program webpage.
I also contribute to research examining factors that impact change in cognitive behavioral therapy. My research helps to inform my clinical work and keep me up-to-date on the most evidenced-based and effective clinical practices.
