Biography

My current work focuses on (1) examining the impact of modern technological advances on psychological wellbeing, (2) refining telehealth best practices by evaluating how digital tool use may enhance or hinder clinical responses and outcomes and (3) identifying the most persuasive aspects of early and brief interventions (particularly digital outreach efforts) that are most likely to lead to mental health help-seeking.
