🎉 New Publication Alert! I’m thrilled to share my latest article stemming from my original dissertation research: Valor and vulnerability: Honor endorsement and mental health stigma across military and civilian contexts.

This study examined how endorsement of honor norms relates to public stigma, self-stigma, and attitudes toward seeking mental health care among military service members, veterans, and civilians. Our findings suggest that honor-related cultural beliefs can meaningfully shape help-seeking attitudes and may function differently across contexts, perhaps in different ways than we originally anticipated.

This matters because recognizing and addressing these cultural influences can improve interventions and help reduce barriers to care in both military and civilian populations.

🦢 Like a swan, you may appear calm on the surface. But underneath? You’re paddling furiously to stay afloat.

This is often how burnout, anxiety, trauma, and even sleep difficulties show up. High-functioning on the outside. Meeting deadlines.

Showing up for others. But inside - exhaustion and feeling stuck.

The good news? Evidence-based therapy can help you move beyond survival mode and find steadiness that feels real, not forced.

Reach out for a free consultation, and let's get unstuck.
