Since receiving her doctorate from Pennsylvania State University in 1999, she's published many articles and taken part in numerous scientific presentations on anxiety and anxiety-related subjects.

Her main research interests include: generalized anxiety disorder, normal and pathological worry, anxiety and stress-related disorders, psychotherapy outcome research, and fear reduction.

It is also an especially valuable reference for graduate students treating or studying the anxiety spectrum.
