Research Focus

My research focuses on better understanding the early phases of psychosis and psychotic illnesses. I hope to be able to help patients and their families better understand the factors that can help them heal, so that they can achieve a more positive treatment outcome. I am also interested in helping those with more established Schizophrenia and related psychoses function to the best of their ability. Most of my research focuses on treatment with medications and in exploring how medications impact the trajectory of illness.
