In addition to my work at Excel Psychology, I am an Assistant Clinical Professor at BYU’s Counseling and Psychological Services, where I supervise psychology doctoral students in advanced psychological assessment. I have taught courses such as Psychology of Gender, Intuitive Eating and Body Image, Psychological Testing, Personality Assessment (graduate level), Writing in Psychology, and Counseling Multicultural and Diverse Populations. 

My clinical interests include sexual health, out-of-control sexual behaviors (such as unwanted pornography use), perfectionism, body image, mindfulness, and anxiety. I am LGBTQ-affirming and use a Health-At-Every-Size (HAES) framework in my practice. I also have Type 1 Diabetes and am interested in the link between chronic illness and mental health. I have presented to national diabetes educator conferences on the connection between diabetes management and perfectionism, suicidality, eating disorders, and body image distress. 

I love psychological testing, because it feels like detective work—digging deep, gathering the clues, and putting the pieces together to figure out what’s really going on. I view each testing client as a whole person with strengths, a full life, and an important history. I hope you will walk away knowing you are not defined by your diagnosis while also gaining the clarity, hope, and resources a diagnosis can bring.
