Dr. Railsback graduated with her PhD from Nova Southeastern University in 2020 after receiving her master’s degree in 2017. In the first year of her graduate program, she specialized in working with veterans and military families. During the second year of her graduate program, she specialized in working with people of all genders who were victim-survivors of sexual trauma and torture. Toward the end of her master’s program, Dr. Railsback began working with sexual offenders and perpetrators of sexual violence in addition to her continued volunteer work with victim-survivors of sexual violence. When Dr. Railsback began her doctoral program, she expanded her trauma-focus to include historical, intergenerational, and societal trauma. From her work with felons, she saw first-hand the effects of institutionalized racism, heteronormativity, and cis-normativity. Dr. Railsback continued her doctoral studies, exploring the consequences of societal expectations and norms on different aspects of identity and relationships. Dr. Railsback's extensive academic journey and specialized training uniquely position her as an empathetic and understanding therapist for marginalized and oppressed populations. She is dedicated to fostering inclusivity and creating a safe and affirming space for clients of all backgrounds, and she is ready to support you on your therapy journey to healing and self-discovery.
