More specifically, by targeting smoking, alcohol misuse, unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyles, the most prominent lifestyle risk factors for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers, my goal is to help elucidate the science of multiple health behavior change while promoting health, wellness and disease prevention.

I have been in the lab since its inception in July 2015. My long-term research interests fall broadly under clinical and health psychology as well as contemplative studies. More specifically, my goal is to study mindfulness-based psychotherapies, their efficacy on anxiety, depression and trauma-related disorders as well as their associated neural correlates.
