My research interests focus on both qualitative and quantitative studies in the fields of hypnosis, dreams, and anomalous phenomena.

My research areas of expertise are the same as my research interests.

I have helped Saybrook students get published in professional journals, have helped them present papers at professional conferences, and have helped them make contact with colleagues in other parts of the world.
