Biography
I'm a licensed psychologist with clinical and research expertise in evidence-based care for youth and young adults who have experienced the recent onset of a psychotic disorder. As part of the clinical team of The Ohio State University Early Psychosis Intervention Center (EPICENTER), I work with an interdisciplinary treatment team to provide comprehensive specialty care to young people with psychosis and their families. As a clinician-scientist, I am dedicated to patient-centered research focused on identifying effective approaches to personalize care for each individual whom we have the privilege to treat.
In my clinical work, I am interested in efforts to optimize psychosocial treatments for young people with psychosis. As the first signs of psychosis tend to emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood, it is imperative that we implement evidence-based strategies for developing treatments for individuals as they navigate the unique developmental task of transitioning to adulthood. We also know that psychosocial interventions work best when patients feel that they are an active member of their treatment team and are empowered to make decisions about their care. Thus, I work collaboratively with my patients to assist them in identifying and working toward goals that are most consistent with their vision of recovery and return to valued activities of living (e.g., returning to school, engaging in work, making and keeping friends).
I am actively engaged in clinical and translational research investigating social cognition and social functioning in early psychosis. This work integrates multi-modal data to elucidating the mechanisms that give rise to aspects of illness that tend to remain impaired even when psychiatric symptoms of psychosis are well-managed (e.g., social cognition and interpersonal functioning). I am also involved in the clinical training and supervision of advanced doctoral psychology trainees and psychiatry residents.

Academics and research
My research focuses on the integration of multimodal data to understand the brain-behavior mechanisms that contribute to social difficulties among individuals living with psychosis, with a specific emphasis on social cognition. Critically, my work bridges assessment of neural and clinical functioning measured in the laboratory setting to key measures of functioning and experience assessed in real-world settings.
I am particularly interested in the intersectionality of first-episode psychosis and emerging adulthood – the developmental phase from the late teenage years though the 20s – and how a developmental lens may elucidate the unique needs and strengths of youth experiencing the onset of a serious mental illness. I also have interests in the use of mixed-methods approaches (i.e., computational linguistics, qualitative coding) to assess natural language and life-story narratives of individuals living with or at-risk for a psychotic-spectrum illness.
