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 mental health and well-being, and become the most authentic version of ourselves?
There are three key areas I focus on: fostering authentic connection, facilitating intrinsically motivated goal-pursuit, and promoting a respectful and positive conversation about sexuality.
Drawing from a diverse background in science, including biological psychology, neuroscience, and positive psychology, as well as methods from Eastern wisdom traditions such as meditation, and coaching techniques, I bring an interdisciplinary approach to my work.
I serve as the Director of the Human Sexuality and Well-Being Project at the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania. Here, I lead a 5-year NIH-funded project on sexual well-being with the goal of developing a comprehensive model and measurement scale for sexual well-being.
I also have ongoing collaborations with the Wharton Neuroscience Initiative, which focuses on leveraging brain science for building better businesses. In this context, I have investigated the potential of various practices that can help people connect with each other, such as dyadic meditation (meditation in pairs).
In addition to my research endeavors, I offer talks & keynotes, consulting and workshops. Please feel free to explore my website to learn more about my work, publications, and offers. I look forward to discussing how I can contribute to your goals.
