Elizabeth is a PhD student in the Clinical Psychology program at the University of Nevada Reno and a Graduate Research Assistant in the Center for Fear Less Research Lab. She is also a Graduate Research Affiliate for the Mind-Body Trauma Care Lab at the University of Minnesota Duluth. Elizabeth is trained in Trauma Informed Weight Lifting and her Master’s equivalent thesis “Trauma-Informed Weight Lifting as an Adjunctive Intervention for Post-traumatic Stress Among Youth in Residential Treatment” was the seminal study exploring the effects of TIWL. Elizabeth has research interests in embodiment-based trauma interventions, mindfulness-based interventions, trauma treatment, and trauma-informed care. She hopes to continue to contribute to the literature on TIWL and open a center that incorporates empirical psychotherapy and embodiment-based trauma treatments for those who have experienced trauma.
