Research Interests

Research Summary:

My fascination with disruptive vicious cycles has led me to examining clinical depression. Some of my recent work has examined the lasting effects of a history of recurrent depression on current physical and mental health. I am currently preparing my first year project for publication that examines how stress reactivity and coping styles are changed in individuals who receive cognitive therapy for depression.
