Her recent publications analyze alcohol use patterns among South Asian women, coercive control mechanisms, and trauma-informed care models. She advocates for integrated support systems that address both substance use and domestic abuse in her collaborations with organizations like AVA (Against Violence and Abuse) and Adfam.
