Education

Doctor of Philosophy: University of Florida 2009 (Mental Health Counseling)

Master of Science: Georgia State University 2006 (Professional Counseling)

Master of Divinity: Emory University 1998

Bachelor of Science: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 1989 (Business Administration)

Research and Practice Interests

Building on clinical and personal experiences, my research interests have focused on serving socially oppressed populations, specifically 1) women, men, and children who have become homeless; 2) lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals; and 3) ethnic minorities.  My multicultural research agenda includes working in the areas of addictions, group work, indigenous healing practices, and spirituality.  Theoretically, I have adopted an Emancipatory Communitarianism approach (Prilleltensky, 1997) which supports greater critical consciousness, mutual responsibility, and a strengths-based orientation while serving individuals and whole communities.  With this perspective, my research agenda has been to help communities realize their full potential as they address the social injustices that are perpetuated within.
