Current research projects include:

1. "Problem-Solving Skills Training for Clinicians Providing Psychosocial Care in Pediatric Oncology'. Research aims to identify specific coping strategies that would facilitate the adjustment of caregivers learning their child had been diagnosed with cancer.

2. "Bright Ideas-Young Adults: Problem-Solving Skills Training to Reduce Distress Among Young Adults with Cancer". The goal of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of Bright Ideas-YA, a novel problem-solving skills training intervention designed to enhance patient problem-solving ability, reduce distress, and improve health-related quality of life.

3. "The Influence of Social Network Size, Composition and Function on Psychological Outcomes of Pediatric Cancer Caregiving: Relationships Across Time and Around Periods of Distress". The goal of this research is to examine how social network experiences influence parental psychological outcomes over time and surrounding especially stressful treatment procedures.

4. "Music Therapy for Women Undergoing Radiation Therapy for Breast Cancer". The overall aim of this research is to optimize the role of music during radiation therapy in reducing anxiety using the expertise of a music therapist to create a specific, customized music treatment plan that will help to relax the patient during 3 critical events: the simulation, the dry run, and the first treatment session.

Dr. Sahler was a tremendous help to us. Her knowledge and expertise helped guide us toward the best decisions for our son's care. She spoke directly to our son many times throughout the appt getting his perspective, answering his questions, and making sure he understood what was being discussed. She listened to our worries with care and made expert recommendations that only a physician of her experience and caliber could make. She is an exceptional doctor! We feel extremely fortunate that our son was referred to her. Thank you Dr. Sahler! Your words were exactly what we needed to hear.
