My research interests are divided into two main areas: 1) Understanding the effects of sex steroids on the brain 2) Evaluating novel drug therapies for psychiatric disorders, specifically psychedelics. I am currently testing the effects of an oral birth control pill on brain functions related to mood, motivation, and pleasure.
