My research program largely focuses on translational research that can be implemented into interventions and healthcare practice to improve interpersonal communication in clinical and family contexts to support disease coping, shared decision-making, and psychosocial oncology outcomes of individuals. Using a lifespan, developmental approach, my current work seeks to understand how parent-AYA, clinician-AYA communication promotes and inhibits AYAs’ identity development after a cancer diagnosis.
