I am passionate about supporting people in their pursuit of healthful, meaningful, and joyful lives. Because traumatic experiences—especially those inflicted by others—can profoundly affect the well-being of individuals and communities, I pursued training as both a clinical and community psychologist not only to provide effective care for trauma survivors, but also to contribute to understanding and preventing violence and abuse. 

​

Following my graduate training, my path led me to academic medicine, where I found a meaningful way to bring together my passions for clinical care, science, and prevention-oriented work in service of trauma survivors. In this setting, I continued to deepen my training in research-backed psychological interventions, trained and supervised other clinicians, and conducted research on improving access to effective psychological care for trauma survivors across healthcare settings. 

​

Although I continue this work through university-based research and consultation, over time I felt called to serve as a psychologist in new ways. In 2025, I opened an independent practice, creating space to expand my therapeutic offerings (please see my Psychotherapy Services page for more information) and to develop new avenues of healing and growth. This includes combining my commitment to evidence-based mental health treatment aimed at reducing symptoms and distress with depth-oriented work that helps people understand the patterns, influences, and relational dynamics shaping their lives, opening up new ways of engaging more fully and intentionally. 

​

Emerging offerings are also rooted in the ideas explored in a book I hope to publish in early 2027. The book addresses a common human experience: feeling depleted, disconnected, or unfulfilled within relationships—whether in one-to-one relationships, families, groups, workplaces, or organizations. It explores how relational patterns are often shaped by influences outside our awareness and offers concrete guidance to help people reclaim agency, restore vitality, and cultivate more fulfilling lives and relationships.
