She emphasizes research design and data analysis, aiming to strengthen scientific literacy among future psychologists. Her work often explores grief congruence, coping strategies, and emotional outcomes in couples experiencing involuntary pregnancy loss.
The recent publications reflect a strong trend in qualitative and mixed-methods research on psychosocial aspects of pregnancy loss, grief, and coping. Themes include perceived incongruent grief, social support, and emotional compounding across different types of loss. She also contributes to methodological literature, including APA formatting and psychological assessment techniques.
