Research Interests

I am specifically interested in the efficacy of mindfulness- based practices/interventions, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for improving the quality of life in ethnic minority groups. I am curious about how various ethnic groups experience, define, and use mindfulness-based practices/interventions and DBT. I also want to know what does and does not work. I have a special interest in Single Case Research Designs (SCRDs) and bridging the practitioner-researcher gap through teaching, research, and service.
