Research
I am a clinical psychologist with expertise in dialectical and cognitive behaviour therapies, and the treatment of PTSD for people with high-risk behaviour. ?My research has focused on intervention outcomes for people struggling with addiction, suicidal behaviour, anger and emotion dysregulation.?I also work as an advisor to Oranga Tamariki on the management of tamariki and rangatahi at risk of suicide, and am an adjunct professor at the Yale school of medicine where I collaborate on research and training projects related to dissemination and treatment evaluation.?
I provide adherence coding for the Linehan DBT certification board.? I have been PI on two small trials of DBT in New Zealand.? One was evaluating the feasibility of DBT with men with problems related to anger, and the other was evaluating the feasibility of trialling DBT with suicidal adolescents and their families funded by Te Pou on behalf of the Ministry of Health.
