I am a doctoral candidate in Counseling Psychology at the University of Utah, specializing in trauma, with an expected PhD completion in August 2024. I also hold an MEd in Educational Psychology from the University of Utah (May 2022) and a BS in Psychology from Washington State University Vancouver (May 2014). As a researcher, therapist, trainer, and author, I am passionate about using written expression to make complex psychological topics more accessible. My work is published in peer-reviewed journals, books, newsletters, and blogs. Following my PhD, I plan to open a private practice to provide psychotherapy and consultation services. I also aspire to write books, deliver trainings, facilitate retreats, start a podcast, and appear on talk shows. In addition to my professional pursuits, I enjoy watching K-dramas, reading WebToons, going on mindful walks, listening to music, and spending quality time with loved ones.
