I am now a staff psychologist at Massachusetts General Hospital. There, I work with adults, couples, and groups in the primary care psychiatry clinic, and through the dialectical behavior therapy program. I thoroughly enjoy both my patients and my colleagues there. In November 2007, I will also be starting a private practice in Boston. I always try my best to find time to cook, do yoga, read, go hiking, and hang out with my godson.

I am currently an assistant professor of clinical psychology at Clark University.  I teach courses in general psychology (undergraduate) gender and families (undergraduate); child psychopathology in context (graduate); and ethics in psychotherapy (graduate).  My research currently focuses on the transition to adoptive parenthood with special attention to how gender, sexual orientation, and race/culture shape this transition for both parents and children.  Clark is a wonderful place that embraces diversity.  Plus I have the opportunity to work with smart and passionate graduate students, which makes the work that much more fun.  I continue to collaborate with my friends and colleagues at U Mass, so it's like I never left!

I recently began a postdoctoral fellowship at Children's Hospital Boston within
the Medical-Surgical and Cardiovascular Intensive Care Units (MSICU and CICU).
I work with parents, siblings, and pediatric patients coping with a range of
acute (e.g., traumatic injury, new diagnosis) and chronic (e.g., cystic
fibrosis, congenital heart defects) physical conditions within a critical care
setting.  The word "intense" is sometimes an understatement.  Within this
fellowship, I am also beginning a research collaboration among Psychiatry, Child
Life, and Nursing Services to explore the implementation and utilization of a
weekly sibling supportive group intervention.  Similar to Abbie, I continue to
work with the WFTP crew, so I'm in a bit of a denial that I ever left!
