Expertise

Research Interests

My research focuses on pregnancy, the postpartum, and early family development. My lab addresses several issues within this theme, including: maternal and paternal perinatal depression, development of harsh parenting behaviors, establishment of parenting styles and parental decision-making, individual decisions around committed relationships, and LGBTQ issues and parenthood. Research in my lab involves observational and experimental methods and often employs advanced statistical modeling. I am accepting applications for Clinical and Applied Psychological Sciences PhD students for the incoming 2018-2019 academic year. Please visit for more information.
