I have had the privilege of traveling to India several times with the CCAC Honors Program, and seeing this experience through the eyes of the students.
I love teaching psychology, and helping students apply information to their own lives, so that it is meaningful.
I am a practicing psychotherapist, and also a meditation instructor.
