Interests

I became a counselor with the intention of "helping people". I realized quickly that becoming a counselor is much more than helping others, but it is a journey of self-growth, personal and professional development, and a love of learning. I enjoy learning, but my passion is watching the personal and professional development of my students. Watching each student take the time to develop their counseling skills and work with others is extremely rewarding. I also am a huge advocate for students as long as students are willing to advocate for themselves and step outside of their comfort zone. I push and challenge my students in each class. I also expect students to be proactive and not reactive to most situations. Prepare yourself and understand expectations.

I enjoy experiential classes, such as group, counseling strategies and techniques, supervised experience, and practicum. Other areas include ethics, assessment, family systems, abnormal, child and adolescent counseling, and grief and bereavement. My research interests include gatekeeping and retention.
