Research to improve RELATIONAL health

The quality of our relationships is associated with happiness, satisfaction, and longevity. To enhance relational skills and connection, I conduct both basic and applied research.

1) We Identify What Helps Us Have Healthy Relationships

Challenging social experiences can make it difficult to navigate our lives with a sense of trust and security. Through basic research studies, I pinpoint the relational predictors of relational distress, such as negative core beliefs, conflict management skills, attachment insecurity, emotion dysregulation, and loneliness.

2) We Build Interventions To Improve Relational Skills & Social Connection

I focus on promoting healthy relationships and enhancing psychological well-being. I develop digital single-session interventions and in-person psychotherapeutic interventions to enhance key targets, such as attachment security, conflict resolution, communication, and emotion regulation.
