About
Areas of expertise
- Medical psychology
- Brain health and function
- Mental and behavioral aspects of healthy habit maintenance
“My work is all about the impact of medical issues on our psychological well-being. Mind–body connections are strong, and what we do and think impacts how we feel and vice versa. It’s so important to consider the whole person facing a medical complication, not just a diagnosis. By addressing mental, social, and physical factors together, we can heal more effectively than targeting any of them in isolation.”
