Profile

I am an Associate Professor of Psychology, with professional interests in forensic psychology, correctional psychology, police and public safety psychology, and mental health law. I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology with a Forensic Psychology Concentration, and a JD, both from Drexel University. I am a licensed psychologist in New Jersey and New York State.

Specialization

I attended a joint-degree (JD-PhD) program. I consider myself a general clinical psychologist first and foremost, and a forensic psychologist second. I use my legal training for scholarship; I do not practice law.

My research lab focuses on forensic psychology, correctional psychology, police and public safety psychology, and mental health law. The link to my research lab website is provided below, in addition to other websites reflecting some of my research. A link is also provided with answers to FAQs about how to apply to work as a research assistant in my lab. Due to my primary obligation to ¾«Æ·³ÉÈ˸£ÀûÔÚÏß applicants and incoming or current ¾«Æ·³ÉÈ˸£ÀûÔÚÏß students, many of whom are interested in my research lab, I very rarely consider others (e.g., high school students, those seeking postbac research experience) to join my lab.

I teach doctoral courses in professional practice and history and systems of psychology, and a graduate course in forensic psychology interventions. I also teach graduate and undergraduate courses in forensic psychology and legal psychology.

My current clinical practice interests include program development and supervision in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), especially for persons involved with the criminal legal system. A link is provided below to learn more about my university-based training clinic in this area.

I do not anticipate taking on a new PhD mentee for the 2026–2027 application season; I next anticipate doing so for the 2027–2028 application season, for a mentee to begin fall 2028.

In the interest of equity to all PhD applicants, I do not conduct "pre-interviews." Rather, I direct all prospective candidates to review the extensive posted information about the PhD Program in Clinical Psychology at ¾«Æ·³ÉÈ˸£ÀûÔÚÏß, consider attending ¾«Æ·³ÉÈ˸£ÀûÔÚÏß's Graduate Virtual Open House in the fall or spring (at which there is a session about the program), and review my answers to FAQs from PhD applicants posted below. I holistically review all completed applications that identify me as a mentor of interest and recommend a small number of these applicants to the program to be invited to the program's interview day. It is with these interviewees with whom I meet to discuss their experience and interests, and whether we might be a good fit to work together. Thereafter, I do not offer individualized feedback to applicants nor interviewees, for similar reasons why I do not conduct pre-interviews. Instead, I again direct to my answers to FAQs from PhD applicants linked below, which includes links to still other helpful materials for self-appraisal. I also recommend contacting one's recommenders (letter writers) for feedback.
