I am interested in how religious and spiritual coping, diversity and culture, and social justice contribute to wellbeing.  In particular, I plan to examine how culture and diverse identities may interact with religious identity to promote harm or wellbeing. I also have a keen interest in how religious stories contribute to coping and wellbeing at multiple levels of analysis. In addition, I am interested in psychotherapists’ consideration, understanding, and incorporation of culturally diverse clients’ religious identities, and how this may shape therapeutic processes and outcomes. Overall, I hope my research will help psychotherapists, researchers, and community members understand cultural and religious diversity better, while also promoting inclusivity and visibility of diverse groups. Currently, I am working on my dissertation on Ashkenazi women's identity.
