As a full-time clinical psychologist for the Central Alabama Veteran's Health Care System, I serve as the Director of Behavioral Pain Management, a role I have held since 2011. My clinical work is focused on helping veterans with chronic pain improve their quality of life by learning behavioral skills to facilitate increased engagement with their identified values. In addition to my work roles, I am also a busy mom to two very lively toddlers. I'm excited to share my clinical knowledge with UJ students!
