What is your teaching style?

In classroom discussions, I encourage students to explore what comes to mind 和 to engage deeply
彼此之间. I inquire about the group’s needs on an ongoing basis 和 work to facilitate learning
tailored to those needs. Students are encouraged to use their experiences, wisdom, 和 knowledge to
inform their contributions. Much like my clinical approach, I encourage students to nurture their
relationships 彼此之间 和 with their communities.

Why do you do what you do?

I am an avowed psychotherapy nerd passionate about the depth-oriented psychotherapies of existential,
humanistic, 和 psychodynamic traditions. I love working with students to underst和 how these
approaches can inform their work. Additionally, counseling is a gratifying profession in its convergence of
art 和 science; I want to help students explore how to engage in their work with joy 和
满意度. Finally, I entered grad school as an adult learner 和 first-generation college student, 和 I
am passionate about helping historically underrepresented students succeed in graduate education.

How do you make learning engaging?

I ensure we laugh during at least some portion of the class. Our work, as gratifying as it is, can be heavy,
so finding ways to connect with peers 和 share in laughter is essential. In addition, the sheer amount of
information about contemporary psychotherapy can be overwhelming, so I distill some of these
resources 和 bring those into our learning.

What should students know about you?

如果有机会, I will talk effusively about psychotherapy, 小道跑步, 狗, 搬运重物, 和
Milwaukee Bucks basketball.
