Biography
A Michigan native, Dr. Byrd double-majored in Psychology and Women's Studies at the University of
Michigan, Ann Arbor, earning a B.A. with Distinction (1991-1994). Dr. Byrd went on to complete
her M.S. (1999) and Ph.D. (2004) in Clinical Psychology at the University of Nevada, Reno. Her
primary mentor at UNR was Dr. William O’Donohue, though her work was also strongly influenced
by Drs. Nicholas Cummings and Steven Hayes.
Dr. Byrd is a Licensed Psychologist in the state of Michigan and, in addition to her work at EMU,
maintains a small private practice. Dr. Byrd’s research interests include the integration
of behavioral and medical care in primary healthcare settings, particularly in the area of
pediatrics, and the incorporation of acceptance based strategies in the treatment of medically
ill populations.
Dr. Byrd is the author of numerous articles and book chapters. In addition, Dr. Byrd was
the Coordinator of the Clinical-Behavioral MS Program at EMU from 2005-2010 and has been the
Practicum Coordinator since 2003.
Dr. Byrd teaches two courses at the undergraduate level, General Psychology (PSY 101) and Self
Analysis and Control (PSY 203). At the graduate level, she teaches Child and Family Therapy,
Clinical Organizational Management, and two practicum courses. In addition, Dr. Byrd is actively
involved in providing clinical supervision to both MS and Ph.D. students at the EMU Psychology
