New paper out! We examined how LGBTQ+ people process troubling heterosexist experiences using an emotion-focused expressive writing exercise. In many ways, participants grew their sense of agency in how they understood and responded to their experiences. Here it is: psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/...

New paper alert ⭐️! We make the case that truly trauma-informed assessment must also be dissociation-informed, providing process-related guidance. We outline why dissociation matters in assessment and how to attend to contextual processes to be dissociation-informed. psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/...

Trump admin pulled Princeton's grants, citing their NOAA-funded research "suggests that the Earth will have a significant fluctuation in its water availability as a result of global warming. Using federal funds to perpetuate these narratives does not align with the priorities of this Administration"

Update! ⭐️ This past weekend, I attended the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation’s Annual Conference! I was awarded two awards: the Outstanding Student Award and Pierre Janet Writing Award. I feel so honored! I was also able to do two presentations at the conference 😊!
