Most of my work at OSU has been focused on teaching. I believe the best learning environments are simultaneously safe and challenging and require both reflection and active engagement. I enjoy all kinds of teaching – in the classroom, therapy room and via clinical supervision. I am committed to using evidence-based teaching practices to support knowledge growth and skill development in learners from diverse backgrounds. I am also committed to individualizing teaching strategies to maximize each learner’s strengths while addressing challenges.  I was honored to receive the OSU Psychology Department’s  Distinguished Teaching Award for Associated Faculty in 2022.
