About
<p>My research is centered on narrative identity and engagement to develop more culturally relevant interventions for trauma-focused psychotherapy. As a trauma researcher, I aim to address the disproportionate impact of chronically stressful and systemic environments of trauma, and incidences of traumatic events on people of African descent. Currently, I am assessing ways that people engage and enact their own storytelling, so that narrative processing treatments can be tailored to the individual beyond the historically white, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic context of most psychological research.</p>
