  • Eating disorders
  • Eating behavior
  • Obesity
  • Anxiety disorders
  • Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum disorders

My research focus is on factors that influence food choice and preference, including food insecurity, food preferences, energy balance, disordered eating cognitions, appetite, mood, and anxiety. My primary focus is on avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, an eating disorder characterized by restrictive eating that isn’t related to weight and shape concerns.
