Research Interests

As the associate director of the Psychology Clinic, I divide my time between teaching, supervision, and administrative duties. My research activities are mostly related to temperament and personality or personality disorders, as well as cross-cultural differences. Besides teaching two classes at the graduate level and supervising students in the clinic and at CAPS, I am the assessment coordinator and oversee psychological evaluations and assessments for individual clients and our contracts. My administrative tasks in the Psychology Clinic include assessment training, supervision and coordination, community outreach, management of contracts, and coordination of clinical assistants.
