She carries out this work in diverse populations, including in treatment resistance in mental health, early psychosis, transplant medicine, and Placebo/Nocebo Studies. She is also involved in the development and evaluation of mental health supports to health care workers in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, bringing a critical humanities lens to this area of work as well.
