I am interested in process research in psychotherapy, and in understanding the use of imagination techniques (Imaginal exposure and rescripting). Through experimental research that examines emotional and cognitive changes, my research specifically looks at externalizing different parts of the self (for example, the past self versus the present self, the critical self versus the compassionate self). The purpose of my research is to elucidate the relative advantage of therapeutic techniques that separates the individual into parts, and facilitate more adaptive and compassionate dialogue between them.
