My research investigates the barriers and facilitators to sexual and relationship health across the lifespan, with a commitment to translating evidence-based insights into programming that promotes access to pleasurable, equitable, and high-quality intimate relationships.

I specialize in mixed-methods, experience sampling, and dyadic approaches including daily diary study designs and actor partner interdependence modeling. My work has been featured in media such as HuffPost and published in journals like Journal of Social and Personal Relationships and The Archives of Sexual Behavior.

When I’m not writing manuscripts or analyzing data, you’ll find me teaching undergraduate and graduate courses on human sexuality, or applying research to practice through consulting and collaborations.
