Research interests
My research explores transdiagnostic and diagnosis-specific factors across anxiety and other emotional disorders, who they translate into efficacious and efficient interventions. This work involves a combination of basic and experimental research to better understand common and unique aspects of affective psychopathology, and clinical outcomes research to develop and evaluate new or modified interventions to target these core features.
A secondary line of research explores the nature and measurement of courage.
I have published roughly 200 journal articles, chapters, and books (one of which has been translated to 5 different languages). I serve on the Editorial Board of Cognitive Therapy and Research and American Psychologist, and am an Editor of Clinical Psychology Review. I have secured over $2,000,000 in funding since 2015.
These contributions have led to my election to Fellow Status in the Society of Clinical Psychology (APA) in 2018, receiving the Australian Psychological Society (APS) Outstanding Academic Mentor Award in 2019, and receiving the Distinguished Career Award by the Australian Association for Cognitive and Behaviour Therapies (AACBT) in 2020. I am also a PsyBA registered Clinical Psychologist with supervisor endorsement.
