Research interests

My research interests focus broadly on romantic relationships. Specifically, I’m currently looking at how close relationship partners can provide support toward each other’s goal pursuits and how individual differences in attachment styles influence this process. I also investigate sexual desire and how partners navigate sexual desire discrepancy in romantic relationships. Additionally, I’m interested in open, transparent, and reproducible science and large scale collaboration projects.
