RESEARCH INTERESTS
The goal of my research program is to translate findings from cognitive and affective neuroscience into interventions that target transdiagnostic mechanisms underpinning substance use disorders, emotion dysregulation, and chronic pain syndromes. My treatment development research is focused on Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement, a novel therapy that unites mindfulness training, CBT, and principles from positive psychology into an integrative intervention for addiction and chronic pain.
