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 psychology 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 adhere to 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. If you'd like to collaborate, I'd love to hear from you.
