I work to empower individuals to fulfill their personal, academic, occupational, and financial potential. Together, clients and I uncover barriers in their thoughts and behaviors and change distorted ways of seeing themselves, others, and the world that make it difficult to achieve their goals. My practice foci include relationship violence, divorce, gender-, race-, and sexuality-related stress, self-esteem, & assertiveness. Visit Alliance Psych profiles: Mercuri Rose, Frank Schott, Shanita Wade, Parker Curtis, Tonna Kleinhans, Sherrie Stewart, Kelly Dietzel, Rachel Recker. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, emotional, sexual, and physical violence, and stress related to workplace mistreatment. I help couples hoping to improve their relationship or heal from infidelity. I provide psychological evaluations for bariatric consultation, divorce/custody, and harassment and have been admitted as an expert witness for court. I conduct research on workplace stress, sexual/racial harassment and discrimination, bullying, and victimization, and teach specialized courses in social justice, multicultural psychology, and abnormal psychology. Finally, I consult and provide training on promoting equity at work, reducing sexual and racial harassment discrimination, and implicit bias.
