I recently began instructing at Naropa University. My foundational philosophy of Psychology as a profession is for mental health professionals to apply knowledge as a Clinical Provider, researcher, and educator. Each provides various opportunities for a better understanding of human characteristics and health. My professional practices are based on Developmental Psychology, integrating research into further understanding development in a diverse culture.
