Her current research projects focus on testing a novel LGBTQ-affirmative eating disorder treatment, reducing eating disorder and muscle dysmorphia risk for LGBTQ+ and male populations, understanding factors related to treatment outcome across gender and sexual identity, and how interoception and gastric specific anxiety sensitivity can impact body image and eating behavior.
