Natasha joined the lab in 2021 as a postdoctoral associate after receiving her PhD in Clinical Psychology from Auburn University. She completed her clinical internship in the Trauma Recovery Program at the VA Maryland Healthcare System where she gained extensive experience working with Veterans with PTSD. She has authored over 25 publications, with an emphasis on individual differences in presentation of PTSD and anxiety symptoms. Currently, her research is focused on advancing person-centered assessment and treatment of PTSD. She was recently awarded a VA pilot grant to jumpstart this line of research in VA PTSD clinics. She is also interested in novel conceptualizations and treatment of moral injury as well as dissemination and implementation of measurement-based care in PTSD clinics.
