My main research focus is developing and evaluating tech-assisted mindfulness-based interventions tailored to older adults with mood and cognitive disorders. I am particularly interested in leveraging digital technologies, including virtual reality (VR), as a means to deliver and enhance mindfulness interventions. I believe that these technologies can address practical barriers to care often faced by older adults and improve treatment outcomes in this population.
