Research

My research specialty within clinical psychology is behavioral medicine, which examines the interaction of behavioral, emotional, and cognitive factors in relation to health and well-being. In particular, my work has focused on psychological factors related to eating and weight concerns.

I am also interested in women’s health issues, and the use of technology to promote evidence-based clinical practices.
