This award recognizes early-career psychologists whose work advances policy and advocacy priorities, innovation in practice, enhances community well-being by expanding mental health services, and integrates psychology into health care systems.

As someone committed to equitable, evidence-informed care for LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, and relationship-diverse communities, this recognition affirms the importance of expanding access, reducing disparities, and promoting culturally responsive practice and research. I remain grateful for the opportunity to continue contributing to mental health, social justice, and community-centered care.

🌈 As*xuality is not dysfunction—it’s a valid identity.
Yet many providers were never trained to support as*xual clients. Misconceptions can cause harm, leaving clients feeling unseen or pathologized.

📅 October 10, 2025 | ⏰ 11am–1pm EST / 8am–10am PST

I’m proud to share my latest publication: Affirmative Dialectical Behavior Therapy Graduate Group With LGBTQ+ Veterans! 🏳️‍🌈

This work highlights how adapting DBT Graduate Groups within an affirmative framework is feasible and acceptable to LGBTQ+ veterans and can address emotion dysregulation, dysfunctional coping, and improve mental health outcomes. It’s an honor to contribute to the growing body of research that bridges evidence-based care with the unique lived experiences of LGBTQ+ communities.

I often share updates and milestones, but this one is by far the most meaningful: I’m now officially board-certified in Clinical Psychology through the ABPP - American Board of Professional Psychology

Since beginning my clinical psychology training in 2018, board certification, which is pursued by only 4% of psychologists, has been a long-term goal of mine. ABPP certification represents more than a credential. Board certification is a rigorous, peer-reviewed process that affirms advanced competency, ethical integrity, and a deep commitment to excellence in psychological practice. It signals to colleagues, institutions, and the public that we uphold the highest standards in our field.

As an LGBTQ+ psychologist, this achievement is especially meaningful. Our communities remain underrepresented in leadership and specialization across the field. I hope my visibility inspires LGBTQ+ students and psychologists to pursue board certification not just as a mark of distinction, but as a statement that we belong at every level of this profession!
