Research interests

Hypervigilance relating to military experiences

Military personnel, Veterans and First Responders may present with hyper vigilance in the Psychodynamic consulting room, whether they are diagnosed with PTSD or not. I am interested in understanding the way in which military experience may present itself in the room and the transferences caused by this.
