Research Interests:

• My research focuses on two major public health problems: disordered eating and suicidal behavior. I am particularly interested in eating disorders among traditionally understudied groups (e.g., ethnic minority groups), interpersonal and emotional processes related to suicidal behavior, and the occurrence of suicidal behavior among people with eating disorders. I accept graduate students through the Clinical Masters program and through the Health/Social Doctoral program.
