My favorite part about teaching at Johnson is: Meeting diverse students and engaging them to think critically about how to be the best helping professionals that they can be!

When I’m not teaching, I love to: Travel, spend time with my family, exercise with my dogs, and play board games.

In my classes, students can expect: To be challenged, to be empowered, and to be successful.

My best advice to a new student in my program is: To keep an open mind.

Because of my influence, I most want my students to become: Competent, compassionate, and skilled helping professionals.

The myth-busting truth about my discipline I most want people to understand is: Counseling is not only for the severely mentally ill and psychology is not anti-faith.

A quote that influences how I live is: “We don’t see things as they are, we see things as we are.” –  Anaïs Nin
