My specialty areas are in clinical and developmental psychology, and I have worked at the University of Puget Sound since 2002.  I am currently Chair of the psychology department and teach a variety of courses, including Introductory Psychology, Experimental Psychology and Applied Statistics, Developmental Psychology: Adolescence through the End of Life, Psychotherapy, and History of Psychology.  My primary area of research is on romantic relationships, with a focus on communication patterns and other factors related to relationship satisfaction/stability, as well as psychological and physical health.  Related to this research focus, I teach an upper division seminar entitled the Psychology of Romantic Relationships.  In addition to teaching and research, I also maintain a part-time clinical practice which specializes in psychotherapy with both individuals and couples.
