As an anesthesiologist, pain medicine specialist, and clinical epidemiologist, my research interests span development of novel psychotherapeutic interventions at the intersection of pain, prescription opioid addiction, and psychology. As an NIH-funded researcher I am working to develop novel interventions (behavioral, medical technology, medical device) to prevent continued pain and opioid use after surgery. My clinical interests include treatment of chronic pelvic pain conditions including painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis, endometriosis, pelvic floor myofascial pain, pudendal neuralgia, peripheral nerve entrapments, pelvic adhesions, vulvodynia, and chronic constipation.
