About Me/My interests:   I currently work as a Child Psychiatrist and Chief of the Division of Pediatric Psychosocial Oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and am an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. After completing training at Massachusetts General and McLean Hospitals, I worked on the staff of the PACT Parenting Program and the Pediatric Consultation Service at Mass General Hospital. We conducted an NCI-funded study to develop a new Parenting Concerns Questionnaire for adults with cancer and I co-authored the book “Raising an Emotionally Healthy Child When a Parent is Sick.” In Pediatric Oncology, I have an interest in psychosocial screening and service utilization and psychopharmacology in children with cancer. Our team is also exploring models of psychosocial care delivery and collaboration with Pediatric Palliative Care.
