Awards I’ve been given
I won the 2024 Trends in Psychotherapy Group and Psychotherapy Processes award for my dissertation proposal regarding researching significant and/or therapeutic experiences for group therapy members regarding dealing with sexualized identity differences and social status. This study is being internationally recognized as influential within the field towards understanding how facilitators can be more expansive, using therapeutic environments as emergent spaces for greater social wellness--especially in dealing with issues of difference and social status.
I was inducted into the national honors society for Human Sexuality--Gamma Eta Rho.
