SWAG视频 Me

I am passionate about the field of counseling and providing quality education for counseling students. I enjoy helping others recognize and develop their strengths and abilities, and I am continuously working to do the same. I teach online courses, advise students, and coordinate school counseling internships within the counseling program. Outside work, I spend as much time as possible in nature with my husband and our two daughters.

Why I鈥檓 At Mary

There is something different about the University of Mary - I felt it right when I stepped on campus. People are valued, and there is a genuine goal to do what's right for students. I am honored to be part of a university where the values are lived out authentically.

Expertise

I worked as a school counselor for thirteen years. I have experience working with the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) National Model and suicide prevention and intervention. I have training in counselor education and supervision and enjoy learning about solution-focused and positive CBT theories.
