I am a psychologist and I teach courses in health, developmental, and introductory psychology.
I am interested in how biological, psychological and social factors interact to affect health. Much of my research focuses on psychosocial interventions and how they can lead people to be both happier and healthier. This includes creating and/or evaluating interventions designed to increase mindfulness, self-compassion, and social support among people living with stress, pain, or addiction.

Research/Special Projects
My research centers around empowering people to manage their health. I collaborate with medical schools to create and evaluate technology-based, psychosocial interventions for families living with painful chronic diseases. A recent example is a mobile-based intervention to increase mindfulness and social support among adolescents and young adults living with sarcoma. I also evaluate mind-body interventions designed to help college students manage stress, such as an in-person intervention designed to increase self-compassion among students. Finally, I collaborate with teams to deliver community-based interventions designed to reduce health risks, for example, by increasing the availability of naloxone to reduce opioid overdose. I enjoy working closely with students in the Health Psychology Lab on many of these projects. My research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
