I am interested in the study of solitude, such as how spending time alone can be related to both costs (e.g., anxiety) and benefits (e.g., restoration). My approach to research is rooted in positive psychology, and I am interested in how spending time alone may be linked to different aspects of well-being, such as eudaimonia (i.e., striving for personal excellence and growth) and hedonia (i.e., positive emotions or pleasure). Additionally, I am interested in how spending time alone in different environmental conditions or setting may be more condusive to promoting well-being,
