Short Bio
I am a master's student in the Marriage and Family Therapy program at Auburn University. I completed my undergraduate degree at Brock University. I am deeply interested in understanding romantic relationship and factors that shape them across the lifespan. My research interests center on couple dynamics and the development and maintenance of romantic relationships, with attention to the role of context, culture and the experiences of minority populations. I hope to build a career that integrates research and clinical practice, working with couples and families to identify and transform long-lasting patter that may no longer serve them. Ultimately, my goal is to contribute to research and therapeutic work that helps individuals, couples and families develop stronger bonds.
