Research Overview
My current research interests involve using psychologically based treatments to improve physical health. At InCHIP, I plan to study whether psychological interventions (i.e. video self-modeling, mindfulness, relaxation techniques, and/or emotional written expression) will affect stress hormone production and inhibit tumor growth in patients with malignant melanoma. In the past, my research has focused on interventions for communication disorders, classroom disruptive behavior, and physical health and wellness, especially asthma and cancer.
