I am an Associate Professor on the clinical psychology faculty at Arizona State University, with clinical and research specialization in Health Psychology. My primary research interests are in women's health and the development of individual differences in physiological responses to stress and long-term vulnerability to stress-related illnesses.
I graduated with a B.A. in Psychology from Case Western Reserve University in 2004. I am now in my final year in the Clinical Psychology Doctoral program here at ASU, with an emphasis in health psychology. My research interests involve the development of physiological stress response and the influences of family conflict. I am also interested in early family influences on communication and coping styles.

 		 I graduated from Agnes Scott College, with a B.A. in psychology in 2005. I am in my fourth year in the Clinical Psychology Doctoral program with an emphasis in health. Generally, my research interests are in coping with chronic stress particularly for under-represented groups such as minorities and women. I am also interested in how effective health interventions vary across cultural groups, and implementing interventions in a community setting.
I graduated from Rutgers University in 2005 with a B.A. in psychology. I am now in my third year as a doctoral student in the Clinical Psychology program with a concentration in health. Broadly, my research interests include women's health (specifically during pregnancy and postpartum), affective disorders and physiological health outcomes, community research/intervention, resilience, and insomnia and its effects on psychological and physical health.

I graduated from Boston University in 2005 with a Masters in Public Health & Epidemiology. I am currently a 3rd year PhD student in the Clinical Psychology program working with Linda Luecken and Irwin Sandler. My research interests include stress, development and coping; externalizing problems; and the parent-child relationship. I am also interested in the development of preventive interventions that can effectively influence these factors.
I graduated from UCLA in 2006 with a B.A. in Psychology. After gaining experience in the area of health psychology at the UCLA Medical Center, I began the Clinical Psychology Doctoral program at ASU. Broadly, my research interests include the effect of various coping styles on physiological and psychological responses to stress, family adjustment to serious childhood illness, and the efficacy of interventions to improve parent-child relations.
