Curriculum Vitae

ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Me

I am a licensed psychologist and Associate Professor at Indiana University Bloomington, where my work centers on teaching, research, and mentorship in counseling psychology and counselor education. I am deeply committed to supporting students, clinicians, and scholars in developing thoughtful, ethical, and neurodiversity-affirming approaches to psychological practice and research.

My scholarship focuses on autism assessment, mental health equity, and neurodiversity-affirming practice, with particular attention to autistic women, older adults, and others who have historically been overlooked or marginalized. Across my work, I emphasize strengths-based and socially just frameworks that value lived experience, identity development, and well-being.

My professional efforts have included leadership in autism research, training, and public education, as well as the development of initiatives designed to broaden access to evidence-based, neuroaffirming resources through community partnership and publicly available learning materials.

I am not accepting new doctoral students for the 2026-2027 academic year.
