Welcome to my website! As a psychologist and neuroscientist, my work revolves around the core theme of authentic well-being: In what ways can we promote our well-being and relationships, and become the most authentic version of ourselves?
I am the Director of the Human Sexuality and Well-Being Project at the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania, where I lead a five-year research initiative on sexual well-being. Our goal is to develop a comprehensive model and measurement scale for sexual well-being, fostering a positive and respectful conversation about sexuality and its role in human flourishing.
My approach is interdisciplinary, drawing from my background in biological psychology, neuroscience, and positive psychology, as well as insights from Eastern wisdom traditions like meditation and coaching techniques. Beyond sexual well-being, my research has also focused on two related areas: fostering authentic connection and facilitating intrinsically motivated behavior change. Moreover, I have been collaborating with the Wharton Neuroscience Initiative, which explores how brain science can support better business practices.
In addition to my research endeavors, I offer talks, consulting and workshops. Explore my website to learn more about my work, publications, and offers. To reach me, please use the contact form. You can also connect with me on LinkedIn, Research Gate, Twitter or Facebook, and you can follow my YouTube channel.
By the way, our research team’s website will be online soon, too—stay tuned for updates.
