    Biography

    Dr. Twamley earned a BA in Social Ecology at UC Irvine and a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Arizona State University. She completed her clinical psychology internship and postdoctoral fellowship at UCSD and joined the faculty of the Department of Psychiatry in 2003. She is a faculty member in the SDSU/UCSD Joint Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology (clinical neuropsychology track); a faculty member of the Stein Institute for Research on Aging (SIRA) at UCSD; Associate Director of the UCSD Research Fellowship in Geriatric Mental Health; and the Director of the Clinical Research Unit of the Center of Excellence for Stress and Mental Health (CESAMH) at the VA San Diego Healthcare System.

    Research Interests

    Dr. Twamley's research focuses on bridging neuropsychology and interventions for individuals with severe mental illness, history of traumatic brain injury, or other cognitive impairments. Current intervention studies focus on compensatory cognitive training (see www.cogsmart.com) and supported employment. Other research interests include cognitive impairment and disability in homeless individuals, the neuropsychology of everyday functioning, genetic markers of cognition in schizophrenia, cognitive impairment in PTSD, and the use of technology to improve cognition. Dr. Twamley’s research has been funded by NIMH, VA, Department of Defense, and the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation (NARSAD).

    Clinical Focus

    Dr. Twamley is a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in neuropsychological assessment, cognitive rehabilitation, and supported employment. Dr. Twamley is particularly interested in community-based interventions that help individuals with severe mental illness or other cognitive impairments reach their highest potential social and occupational functioning. She supervises neuropsychological assessment and treatment at UCSD Outpatient Psychiatric Services and the St. Vincent De Paul Medical Clinic.
