Her work as a psychometrist has focused on pediatric and adolescent populations including assisting with identification and understanding of neurodivergent individuals, with an emphasis on autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, and OCD.

Tiffany comes to SHAW in fall 2026 as a practicum student from the University of Iowa’s Counseling Psychology doctoral program. She is dedicated to understanding her clients’ unique goals and perspectives and creating a safe space to collaborate with students on a holistic approach to their well-being. Tiffany is especially passionate about assisting both international and domestic students alike with life transitions, cultural -adaptation stressors, and relationship challenges. 

Outside of her work and studies, Tiffany enjoys running, jiu jitsu, exploring all that Iowa has to offer, and spending time with her husband and family.
