Q&A
Q: Please describe your teaching philosophy.
A: My philosophy of teaching is summarized in two words: learning and facilitating. I learn with the students and engage students to self-discover rather than provide answers through lecture. I never stop learning; that's why I love to teach.
Q: Please provide a statement or philosophy regarding the practice of psychology.
A: Psychology informs life.
Q: Why did you choose to enter the field of psychology?
A: Psychology is a dominant discipline in understanding and working with change; my life's work is about change.
Q: What advice would you give to a student entering The Chicago School?
A: Learn. Learn about yourself while learning about the field. Be a double-loop learner who recognizes an experience and reflects on how you can grow from it.
