About Me
Photography (c) Hadas Nahman-Averbuch
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a specialty in health psychology and cognitive behavioral therapy; my clinical research focuses on non-pharmacological approaches to chronic pain, substance misuse, and novel technologies (e.g., virtual reality).
In summer 2024, I completed my graduate degree in Psychology through the Department of Clinical Health Psychology at the University of Florida under the tutelage of Dr. Jeff Boissoneault. Over the last two years, I have completed my clinical internship at the VA Connecticut Healthcare System in West Haven, CT, and a yearlong postdoctoral health psychology residency specializing in interprofessional care in the Cincinnati, OH area.
Outside the clinic, I can be found developing podcasts and making music - both professionally, with the United States Association for the Study of Pain (USASP), and International Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism (ISBRA) - and as a hobby, where I play Dungeons & Dragons with friends as a member of True Meta Inc.
