About Me


I am a practicing clinical psychologist, writer, and faculty at Brown University. I have written dozens of scientific articles and dozens of articles translating science for the popular press. In all areas of my work, I aim to make the science that can help people thrive more in relationships accessible and engaging.

My writing has appeared in outlets including The Washington Post, The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Greater Good Science Center, Tricycle, Behavioral Scientist, Kveller, The Wise Brain Bulletin, Psychology Today, and Motherly.

My book about how to thrive in working parenthood, Work, Parent, Thrive: 12 Science-Backed Strategies to Ditch Guilt, Manage Overwhelm, and Grow Connection (When Everything Feels Like too Much), is available wherever books are sold.

I live outside of Boston with my husband, three small comedians, and a cat who rules us all.
