Hi! I am a clinical psychologist with a background in both applied clinical
work and teaching. I am originally from Southern California, where I attended
UCLA to get my bachelor's degree and California State University to get my
master's degree. Throughout this period I worked in a number of mental health
settings in a variety of applied positions. I then moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan,
where I completed a Ph.D. in clinical psychology at the University of Michigan
and continued to do applied mental health work (psychological testing and
psychotherapy with adults, children and adolescents) as well as clinical
supervision of graduate student psychotherapy interns and other types of
teaching.
I began teaching at Earlham in August, 2000. Courses I teach include Counseling
and Psychotherapy, Ethical Issues in Psychology and Tests and Measurements,
but I am also interested in a variety of other topics, including qualitative
research (interviewing and naturalistic observation) and philosophical issues
in psychology. I am especially interested in understanding more about the
underlying connections between quantitative research (identifying causal
connections) and qualitative research (interpreting meanings).
