Whitney

Whitney is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and Clinical Psychology PsyD Candidate with a passion for understanding the why behind human behavior. On The Darker Why, she brings a behavioral and psychological lens to true crime, exploring the environments, relationships, behavioral patterns, and systems surrounding each case. Rather than simply asking what happened?, Whitney wants to know why?

Outside of psychology, Whitney is a wife, mom to a son, and proud dog mom to two pups. When she isn’t working, studying, or falling down a research rabbit hole she absolutely did not intend to spend three hours exploring, she can usually be found reading or enjoying one of her many cozy hobbies.

Equal parts clinician, researcher, bookworm, and naturally curious human, Whitney believes the most interesting stories are rarely as simple as they first appear—and there’s almost always something darker beneath the surface.
