Who We Are

I am a clinical psychologist and researcher currently funded as a K12 Implementation Science Scholar (Career Development Award: 5K12 HL137940-02). My research focuses on pediatric psychology, intervention science, and leveraging mHealth technologies to disseminate and implement evidence-based psychosocial interventions for Adolescents and Young Adults (AYAs) with cancer and other serious medical conditions. mHealth interventions confer the advantages of instant availability, anonymity, self-pacing, the ability to reach patients in remote areas and those traditionally underserved, and cost-effectiveness due to reduced personnel and infrastructure requirements. Current and future research investigations aim to help improve patient and family coping skills, psychosocial well-being, and quality of life by increasing access to evidence-based care.
