Currently my focus is on analyzing cross-sectional survey data on the psychosocial outcomes of breast cancer and its treatment on women between the ages of 18-50 and their husbands or partners. My research to date has focused on sexual function following surgical treatment of breast cancer in younger women, the impact of breast cancer on younger women's relationships with their partners and children, coping strategies used by younger women with breast cancer, attachment behaviors and proximity-seeking in cancer patients and their partners, and the use of a feminist informed medical family therapy model to assist younger women and their partners during diagnosis, treatment, and their transition to survivorship.
