I specialize in Health Psychology that includes coping with medical illnesses, improving health behaviors, and coping with pain and other physical symptoms. I specialize in addressing these issues with both individuals and couples. I have specialized training in working with individuals with such health issues and/or health behavior goals, and experience working with couples in which one or both partners are impacted by health issues or behaviors. I utilize a range of empirically supported approaches to address your individualized needs in these areas.
I completed my dissertation on the interdisciplinary treatment of chronic back pain. I have extensive experience and interest working with individuals suffering from chronic disease and/or medical problems.
