| Research Interests |
|
My research interests lie in three principal areas: 1.) I do research on the relationship between multimodal classical conditioning events and current specific fears/phobias; 2.) I study the emotional aspects of racism and how they might be learned through multimodal classical conditioning events; and 3.) I study the assessment and treatment of social behavior problems in (like rejection and isolation) children and adolescents.

| Clinical Interests |
|
As learning-theory focused clinical psychologist, I supervised MA and PsyD practicum students in behavioral and cognitive-behavioral training placements. I also consult to College of Education student teachers to help them understand the nature of, and how to influence, children's in-class behaviors that are obstacles to an optimal academic experience. |

| Outside Interests |
|
I am an avid, competitive ballroom dancer. I bring this interest to my life at Roosevelt in my role as faculty advisor to RUDanceSport. |

| Clinical Learning Theory Study Group |
Beginning in Fall 2008, I will be moderating the Clinical Learning Theory Study Group. The mission of this group is to understand human psychological disorders from a contemporary learning theory point of view. The group will consider existing literature on learning theory formulations of the development and treatment of psychological problems and will engage in building formulations not yet developed.
The study group is open to psychologists within and outside of Roosevelt. Students are welcome to participate. As the study group is not a substitute for basic training in learning theory, students are required to have complete the equivalents of Psyc 316 or Psyc716. |
