I am trained from a cognitive-behavioral perspective with an emphasis on mindfulness/acceptance/compassion-based therapies.

​

As a licensed clinical psychologist in Washington state, my research is purposeful only insofar as it produces meaningful outcomes for the clients in my care. The strengths and challenges presented by my clients serve as the primary foundation for the questions that drive my research. 

​

I am interested in how life's challenges shape our stable and shifting identities.

​

My areas of focus are adjustment, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and behavior change
