RESEARCH

I am interested in investigating ways of weakening negative emotional memories and/or making them less intrusive. Specifically, I want to explore methods that access memories indirectly/unconsciously and do not induce distress. I hope to learn more about how emotion affects memory, and how different paradigms might be implemented to help people with memory- and emotion-related disorders like PTSD.
