Biography

I am thrilled to be joining the ISU Department of Counseling in August 2014 for the upcoming academic year. I received an incredible education from this department and I am looking forward to contributing to the education experience of new counselors-in-training and counselor educators coming through the program. I am very excited to be serving as Marriage, Family and Couple Program Coordinator. I am currently finishing up my tenure as Director of Student Life at Idaho State University where I have been privileged to assist a variety of students towards educational and personal success, along with providing faculty consultation on services and resources for students. Prior to this position, I worked four years as a full-time professional counselor at the ISU Counseling and Testing Service. This position allowed me to work with college students in individual, couple, and family counseling services, along with providing workshops and other outreach services.
