Research
My current research interests include body image and body dysmorphic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorders, psychosis, and related phenomena. I am also interested in e-mental health, social cognition, and the intersection between clinical and social/cognitive psychology.
Please feel free to contact me about any of the below journal articles and conference papers.
