My work brings together perspectives on moral injury, moral imagination, complex trauma, and spiritual trauma to explore how experiences of betrayal, neglect, abuse, and converging systemic injuries can shape the way we come to see ourselves, others, God, and the world. I am particularly interested in how these injuries can emerge across relationships and systems, mutually reinforce one another, and affect our capacity for trust, relationship, meaning, and hope—including experiences that may begin before we have the words or developmental capacities to understand what has happened to us.

I am interested in healing not only as relief from suffering, but as the recovery of our capacity to perceive, and then relate differently—to recognize that what trauma has taught us to expect is not necessarily the whole of what is true or possible.
