Bio

Broadly, my research interests are in understanding mechanisms related to suicidal ideation and behavior among people with psychotic disorders. I am most interested in understanding how interpersonal risk factors, psychotic symptoms, and social cognition relate to suicidal ideation and behavior among individuals with serious mental illness. Additionally, I am interested in the development and application of real-time mobile interventions for suicide prevention for this population.
