Q&A
Q: Please describe your teaching philosophy.
A: My teaching philosophy is centered on inspiring ongoing lifetime learning, critical thinking, and excellent clinical skills. I use a variety of teaching methods in the classroom which include lecture, films and visual supports, discussions, class activities, and Ecollege. I teach from a holistic perspective (bio-psycho-social-political-spiritual) and diversity is integrated into all of my courses. My theoretical background is Adlerian.
Q: Please describe your philosophy regarding the practice of psychology.
A: I consider myself a community psychologist and I have dedicated my career to working with underserved populations…..those with severe mental illness and/or addiction disorders, homeless persons, and the jail and prison populations. Working in these environments requires working “outside the box,” yet maintaining good ethical practice.
Q: Why did you choose to enter the field of psychology?
A: As a young woman, I lived down the street from a State Hospital and I was curious as to what went on in there…I became a volunteer, and that was it! I loved the work and knew this is what I wanted to do with my life/career.
Q: What advice would you give a student entering The Chicago School?
A: Enjoy the journey.
