Biography
I am a recently appointed assistant professor in the Counseling Psychology and Community Services Department at the University of North Dakota. I am passionate about integrating the various roles of counseling psychologists, including research, teaching, clinical work, supervision, training, and advocacy. In each of these roles I aim to promote social justice and multiculturalism, with specific emphases on groups (e.g., group psychotherapy, intergroup dialogue, intergroup contact), suicide prevention and intervention, and LGBTQ+ mental health.
One of my main goals and passions is to give our science away through public science. We spend a lot of time studying and thinking about critical issues of social justice - and we want people to be able to use this information!
