Bio
I am a clinical psychologist with a specialty in pediatric psychology. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapies to help children cope with and better manage medical conditions and symptoms, while children are hospitalized at Riley Hospital, and through the Riley Pain Center. I am particularly interested in helping children cope with chronic and acute pain conditions. In addition to clinical work, I am involved in research to help us better understand how psychological factors affect pain and how we can better treat children’s pain.

I am involved in research investigating the role of psychological factors associated with pain in children, such as emotions, coping strategies, parenting styles, and behavioral learning; and in evidence-based psychological treatment of chronic pain in children.
Areas of clinical specialization include consultation liaison services within Riley Hospital, coping with medical illness, pain management, and treatment of medically unexplained physical symptoms.
