The Team
Isabel Augur, M.A.
When I’m not working on research or clinical work, I enjoy walking my dog, cooking, and making my own Kombucha!
My current research interests focus on distress tolerance as it relates to the maintenance and treatment of alcohol use. Additionally, I am also interested in treatment of post-traumatic stress in individuals with alcohol and drug use problems. Ultimately, I am interested in understanding how alcohol use comorbidity affects treatment retention and outcomes.
Kayla Ford M.A.
Kayla is a fifth-year doctoral student in the Clinical Psychology program. Her research focuses on psychosocial predictors of hazardous drinking practices, as well as emotional and cognitive processes in response to alcohol-involved transgressions. She has particular interests in how these factors influence sexual aggression while intoxicated, as well as the role of bystanders in helping prevent harmful outcomes for survivors of sexual violence.
Michael Randazza, M.S.
Michael is a second year doctoral student in the Clinical Psychology program.
