Clinical interest for patients

My clinical interests include treating substance use disorders and and applying mindfulness-based interventions to substance use disorders and co-occurring conditions (e.g., depression, anxiety).

Research interest for patients

My research program consists of two broad aims addressing the causes and effects of substance use: 1) understanding the shared mechanisms of heavy substance use and co-occurring conditions; and 2) disentangling familial confounds from the causes and effects of substance use disorders.
