Research Interests: An important aspect of my current research focuses on the role of perfectionism in the overall health and well-being of individuals, with particular attention to related cognitive components. I am also interested in investigating novel intervention approaches in this area. More broadly, my research focus is in clinical intervention and positive psychology, including some of the methodological considerations in these research areas.
