Nadia van den Berg
Graduate Student, Clinical Psychology
Social Risk and Resilience Factors (SuRRF) Lab
Faculty Advisor: John Ruiz
I am a Clinical Psychology PhD student specializing in Health Psychology. My research interests center on understanding how social integration & social support influence health outcomes, particularly among individuals living with cancer. More broadly, I study the biopsychosocial pathways through which stress affects mental and physical health, & how social factors may buffer against these effects. I am also interested in daily monitoring approaches for studying these processes in everyday life.
