Research
My research examines the relationships between mindfulness, rumination, impulsivity, and social interactions in the context of borderline personality disorder and substance use disorders. I am particularly interested in how anger rumination may function to exacerbate negative affect and outcomes within BPD and using neuroimaging to explore these questions.
