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, the research I do means nothing if it doesn't have an impact on the clients in my care. My clients' strengths and struggles are the primary driver of my research questions.

​

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

​

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