Biography
Dr. Treptow joined DMU in 2017 as an Adjunct Professor and moved to Assistant Professor in 2019. She currently holds the position of Associate Professor.
She loves teaching students early in their MSP journey and working on research.
Her clinical expertise is with young children and their families, and she promotes Catholic-rooted infant mental health in academia and in practice. Dr. Treptow applies relationship science in her work for global peace, and studies links between what people think about babies who have early problems and how those babies learn and grow. She presents internationally on health narratives, global peace, and implicit bias’s effects on wellbeing.
A convert to Catholicism and former Director of the Board for the Catholic Psychotherapy Association, Dr. Treptow is Past President for the American Psychological Association’s Division 48 (Peace Psychology). She serves as Secretary of the Catholic Medical Association’s Aquinas Guild of Montana. Dr. Treptow enjoys coffee shop chats and time with family. Her most recent research can be found here:
