Research Interests
I am interested in the utilization of technology 
in the field of counseling, not only in its utility 
of service provision - but also in the way that 
technology is changing our culture and 
communication patterns.  Additionally, I am 
interested in many facets of how our field 
meets the needs of the LGBT population - 
including: training counseling students to 
effectively work with individuals, couples and 
families, as well as increasing awareness of 
specific needs of this population in counseling.

Courses Taught
- Group Counseling
- Crisis Counseling

Professional Experience
Beginning as a mental health agency intern 
working with adults with mental health diagnoses, 
I moved into a family counseling setting where I 
worked with couples and families of all 
backgrounds. I have also worked with the 
geriatric population.  In addition to a wide variety 
of counseling positions, I also have experience 
directing a mid-size family counseling center in 
which I took on a more administrative and 
organizational role. I have been supervising both 
community and family counseling master's 
students for several years, which is a very exciting 
role for me.  As I once hailed from Wooster, OH, 
I now take residence in Northwest Ohio and am 
very happy to be at BGSU!
