Clinical Psychology

As a psychologist and behavioral scientist on the Immigrant Health and Cancer Disparities Service and a member of the Psychotherapy Laboratory at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, I have focused my research on developing interventions to reduce disparities in the psychosocial outcomes of patients with cancer who are not proficient in the English language. Some studies that I am currently conducting explore adapting a meaning-centered counseling approach for Chinese patients with advanced cancer and investigating the use of interpreters in counseling for limited-English patients with cancer.

I am a member of the American Psychological Association (Division 38, Society for Health Psychology and Division 45, Society for the Psychological Study of Culture, Ethnicity, and Race), the Society of Behavioral Medicine, and the Asian American Psychological Association.
