Biographical statement
At this stage of my career I should be looking forward to world travels or leisure-time hobbies but I’m too engaged in the present with my friends and colleagues as we continue to learn (and in turn pass along what we’ve discovered) about counseling. I am heavily involved in the future direction of the program as I am responsible for designing the new lab space for individual, group, and family counseling as well as the audio and video recording capabilities for our new home in Miller Hall.
