about
I’m an assistant professor and licensed psychologist in the department of Clinical, Health, and Applied Sciences at the University of Houston Clear Lake. I work in the school psychology specialist degree program and in the combined school/clinical doctoral program.
I originally trained as a school psychologist. I now focus on researching the assessment, treatment, and prevention of suicide and self-harm across settings. Clinically, I use a behavioral orientation and am trained in dialectical behavior therapy, in addition to other behavior therapies.
At UHCL, I run a small research lab of doctoral students interested in suicidology, teach graduate courses, mentor doctoral students, and sometimes supervise psychology trainees at our on campus clinic.
Next year, I’m transitioning to a similar faculty role at Utah State University.
