Associate Professor, Training Co-Director for the Doctoral Program in Counseling Psychology, Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Education in the College of Education and Human Development

I have been a member of the UND faculty since 1994 and am currently Professor and Training Director of the PhD program in Counseling Psychology, as well as Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Education in the College of Education and Human Development.

My research interests focus on 1) vocational psychology and its relevance for marginalized and under-served groups; and 2) rural mental health initiatives, including suicide prevention. I’ve recently begun to explore the implications of poverty on psychological well-being, including vocational aspirations. I am also very interested in mentoring students as they develop their own research interests, and particularly have interests in working with students on research projects related to 1) supervision and training; 2) eating disorders and body image, and 3) scale development.

My primary teaching interests include supervision theory/technique, ethics, professional development, and vocational psychology, as well as regularly supervising the clinical work of students. In addition, I like to occasionally offer “fun” 1-credit courses such as “Psychotherapy in Film,” or courses that accompany offerings of our Department of Theater, such as a recent seminar on the play “Equus,” just as a reminder of how psychology is integrate in interesting ways throughout our cultural context.

In addition to work at UND, I am deeply committed to counseling psychology training issues in general. As Chair-elect of the Council of Counseling Psychology Training Programs (2007-08) and a member of the Council of Chairs of Training Councils, I am privileged to be involved in current conversations about changes in professional psychology that impact all of us. I am also one of the advisors of the current Host Chapter of the Student Affiliates of Seventeen, the leadership organization of counseling psychology doctoral students, housed here at UND (2007-2010).

I received the PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of California, at Santa Barbara (1994), the Master of Arts in Pre-Counseling Psychology from Ball State University (1989), and the Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at the University of North Dakota (1987). I completed my pre-doctoral internship at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
