His research program centers on veteran mental health systems, specifically examining suicidal ideation disclosure barriers in military populations, trauma-informed clinical protocols, substance use interventions, and patient hesitancy mechanisms. Current work emphasizes optimizing informed consent procedures to improve risk factor disclosure among veterans.

Publication trends reveal a dual focus: recent work (2024) addresses veteran suicide prevention systems, while earlier research (2016) analyzed graduate training satisfaction dynamics in professional psychology programs. Both streams demonstrate applied clinical psychology approaches to systemic healthcare and educational challenges.
