Overview
overview
I am a clinical psychology fellow with specialized research and clinical training in multiple sclerosis (MS). I study different psychosocial and mind-body interventions (e.g., mindfulness, physical activity, diet) to improve physical, psychological, and cognitive health of people with MS. My research centers on developing and testing personalized, whole health interventions using quantitative and qualitative methods. My work in evidence-based care parallels my focus in implementation outcomes to help scale our interventions up for widespread access. Clinically, I employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to provide an integrative and personalized approach to mental health and wellness treatment of individuals and dyads adjusting to chronic illness.

    The first year of multiple sclerosis: Identifying predictors of chronic emotional distress in patients and care partners
    Role Description: The goal of this study is to quantify psychological distress prospectively in the first year after diagnosis in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and their care partners. The second aim is to qualitatively understand the experiences and needs of MS dyads in this early window which will inform the development of a psychosocial intervention delivered early after diagnosis.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
