Research

My research aims to extend the insights of relationship psychology to underserved
families (e.g., Veterans, low-income families). My translational approach has two components:

• Basic research into community level variables that impact treatment effectiveness
• Applied research developing tools intended to work across contexts

Both of the above research strands are supported by methodology work exploring new ways to assess treatment processes and mechanisms.

CURRENT STATUS:

• Conducting research on relationships as a risk factor for suicide in U.S. Military Veterans as part of the Department of Veterans Affairs Center of Excellence for Suicide Prevention
