I graduated from Williams College in 2015 where I received my B.A. in Psychology. Prior to joining the Castonguay Lab, I worked for two years as a Research Coordinator at Massachusetts General Hospital. Broadly speaking, I am enthusiastic about practice-oriented research as a fruitful avenue for better understanding the therapeutic process and improving therapy outcomes. My master’s thesis investigated the prevalence of clients who return for additional therapy treatment courses and factors associated with return to therapy. Current research directions involve ongoing collaborations with such practice-research networks as CCMH and the PPA-PRN. Beyond the academic realm, I enjoy time with friends, the fantasy genre in pretty much all forms (novels, movies, video games—you name it), listening to music, playing golf, and also basketball.
