About Me
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Population Health Science and Policy (with a secondary appointment in Psychiatry), a member of the Center for Behavioral Oncology, Co-Director of the Integrative Behavioral Medicine Program, and a licensed clinical psychologist. My overall program of research is currently focused in train cancer care providers to work more sensitively with survivors of sexual violence, and to train providers in evidence-based psychological interventions to help tindividuals with cancer self-manage symptoms and side-effects of cancer and its treatment. My clinical work iat the Dubin Breast Center s focused on helping women with breast cancer to manage emotional distress and physical side-effects associated with the disease and its treatment, at all stages of care from newly diagnosed through advanced disease. At Dubin, I incorporate both traditional psychotherapeutic approaches (e.g., cognitive-behavioral therapy) and complementary mind-body approaches (e.g., hypnosis) into my work with women. I am available to help patients with problem-solving, difficulties with treatment decision-making, stress management, managing treatment side effects such as pain and fatigue, adjusting to cancer-related physical and lifestyle changes, communicating with support providers, transitioning to survivorship, and enhancing wellness, just to name a few of the topics my clients and I discsuss. I consider it an honor to provide support to women throughout the breast cancer journey.
