richmondBackground Information

Julia is a third year graduate student in Clinical Psychology from Cincinnati, Ohio. She earned her B.A. in Psychology from Ohio Northern University and her M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Cleveland State University, where she worked as a research assistant in Dr. Ilya Yaroslavsky's Mood and Emotion Regulation Lab. Within the MER lab, Julia worked on several projects examining the relationship between emotion regulation and peripheral psychophysiological processes within depression, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder. Julia's master's thesis investigated the role of both emotion regulation and respiratory sinus arrhythmia in the transmission of borderline personality disorder from parent to adolescent child.  

Research/Clinical Interests

Julia is interested in the mechanisms involved in the transmission of borderline personality disorder from mother to child. Specifically, she researches the roles that interpersonal emotion regulation, physiological responses to interpersonal stress, and parent/child interactions play within this relationship. She is also interested in investigating the relation between social comparison and interpersonal emotion regulation in borderline personality disorder pathology.
