What I do
I teach and supervise counselors-in-training, with a focus on clinical supervision, counselor development, professional ethics, and multicultural and social justice counseling. I also maintain a private practice in Colorado, working with adolescents, adults, and couples, which keeps my teaching grounded in current clinical work.Professional Biography
