Background

Dr. Snow earned her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from George Fox University in Newberg, Oregon. Before joining º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½, she worked in a variety of clinical settings, including community mental health, intensive outpatient, residential, and private practice. Much of Dr. Snow’s work has focused on relational woundedness, spiritual integration, identity, and resilience. Her dissertation, Resolving Anger with God: Lament as an Avenue Toward Attachment, explored how lament can open a path toward connection with God.

Outside of work, Dr. Snow loves spending time with her husband and three children. She enjoys Mediterranean food, bright oil paintings, and her curated Spotify playlists. Her ideal summer day includes mossy woods, a sparkling river, and fresh lemonade.
