  San Francisco Bay Area I founded Lovewick to help couples grow and stay in love without it feeling like "work". ​At Stanford, I studied Human Behavioral Biology and realized that there's a ton of research that can help us improve our relationships -- what a shame that findings are often tucked away in academic journals. I also explored societal changes related to romantic relationships in my grad school dissertation.

I also explored societal changes related to romantic relationships in my grad school dissertation. In America, ~40% of people have met a romantic partner online, we are getting married later or not at all, and there are more dual income, intercultural, interracial, long-distance, and LGBTQ+ couples than ever before. What an exciting time, full of new opportunities as well as new challenges. Why, then, are there so many dating apps to help us find love, but so little to help us keep it? Lovewick isn't couples therapy, and it isn't just for fun. It's a couples app that helps you learn about each other and share new experiences, rooted in insights from relationship experts, academics, therapists, and real couples. We appreciate your support and welcome any feedback. Thank you! https://www.lovewick.com Show less
