Research Interests

I have broad research interests in metacognition (thinking about one's cognition), including metamemory and metacomprehension, and cognitive aging. I work to identify the cues on which metacognitive judgments are based, evaluate the reliability of these cues, and understand individual differences (including aging) in metacognitive judgment accuracy.

Research Interests

Broadly speaking, I am interested in psychotherapy process and outcome research. More specifically, I examine the client, therapist, and relationship factors that help individuals with mental and behavioral health problems seek out psychotherapy, stick with it until it is completed, and get better while in treatment.

Research Interests

My research interests focus on understanding risk and protective factors of important developmental outcomes, including substance use, suicidal behavior and resilience (the ability to do well in spite of adversity). My recent projects examine the effects of sleep and self-regulation (regulation of affect, behavioral, and cognitive processes) on physical and mental health.
