Research Overview

My research interests focus on topics related to clinical health psychology, including issues related to chronic pain, access to care, health behaviors, and impacts of relationships on health.

My current teaching is primarily within the research stream of the DClinPsy program. I help to coordinate the Thesis Proposal assignment and to organize the research teaching curriculum for the program.

Career Details

I received my PhD in Clinical Psychology at the University of Houston in 2008. I completed my doctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship in Adult Clinical and Health Psychology at Geisinger Medical Center. After becoming a licensed psychologist in 2009, I began working as an Assistant Professor at Eastern Virginia Medical School. After a move to the Huntington VA Medical Center, I achieved Board Certification by the American Board of Professional Psychology in Clinical Health Psychology in 2014. I subsequently accepted a position at Marshall University in 2015, where I had the opportunity to teach PsyD, masters, and undergraduate students. After ten years at Marshall, I was pleased to have the opportunity to join the faculty at Lancaster University.

Current Research

My recent research prior to transitioning to Lancaster University focuses on chronic pain, issues related to access to care, wellbeing of healthcare workers, and health disparities. As a member of the Division of Health Research at Lancaster University, I will be participating in the EmBody research group.
