As a counseling psychologist and scientist-practitioner, I am interested in psychological interventions that are applied to promote physical and psychological health and reduce burnout in healthcare professionals. For the last decade, my clinical and research background has focused on applying health promotion and wellness interventions to the medical learner population by increasing accessibility, reducing stigma, and engaging the community in dialogue and awareness about mental health and wellness (topics such as sleep, suicide prevention, lifestyle medicine and burnout). I was a co-investigator on a national grant to help healthcare professionals have better access to resilience training and evidenced-based techniques for reducing burnout. I am passionate about teaching clinicians and healthcare professions on how to prevent and treat burnout, and how to improve their own self-care.
