Psychology
Department: Psychiatry
I am the chief psychologist for the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Health. I am also the director of the Women’s Behavioral Health program at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and the director of Ambulatory Services for OSU Harding Behavioral Health.
My primary area of focus is caring for women with cancer. My team and I also treat women who are struggling with unique life events including pregnancy, the postpartum period, their menstrual cycle and menopause. We also provide support for patients coping with issues like infertility and loss.
Please note: Not all physicians schedule patients at each listed location.
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
