Interests and Expertise

My specialization is in multicultural and cross cultural counseling.  I consider the issues of social identity, of race and ethnicity, culture, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, religion and spirituality, to be critical aspects to be aware of and address in counseling.  I do research on these areas, and am also interested in assisting students with their research.  I tend to do qualitative research.  I also teach two courses within the Counseling Program that are open to graduate students in other programs such as WGST.  Both are COUN 592: Special topics courses on Counseling Women and Counseling with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Populations.
