About Me
Currently, I am a psychology resident in the West Virginia University/Charleston Area Medical Center Doctoral Internship Training Program. I am primarily seeing patients with disordered eating and emotion regulation difficulties.
I am also a 6th year doctoral candidate at the San Diego State University/University of Calfornia San Diego Joint Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology advised by Dr. Aaron Blashill. I defended my dissertation in May 2023, focused on on the overlap of chronic stress, traumatic events, posttraumatic stress symptoms, and eating pathology.
