Research Statement
I am interested in researching the questions centering around the impact of traumas and stigma on individuals and families in the cultural context. Psychosocial oncology is one of the main areas that I have been researching, looking at cancer as a medical trauma. Childhood and adolescent cancer survivors, their siblings and parents, grieving parents and families, and psychooncology service providers are the populations that I focus on. I also research the issues around gender and sexual identity and how they affect their psychosocial life.
