Rebekah Clapham is a fourth-year doctoral student in the Clinical-Community division of psychology. She previously earned a B.A. from Skidmore College in Psychology. Before joining the lab, Rebekah worked as a full-time research coordinator in the Risk Behaviors Lab at Western Kentucky University. Broadly, she is interested in understanding risk factors for emotion regulation difficulties that contribute to self-harm outcomes, such as suicide and NSSI.
