Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology, Northwestern University

For more than 20 years, I have worked in outpatient and inpatient hospital settings, in New York, Chicago, and Kansas City. I received my graduate training at Smith College, and Northwestern University, and am a licensed psychologist in Missouri and Kansas. Although I'm originally from the east coast, I am proud to call Kansas City "home."

I am currently an adjunct assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science, and have taught at UMKC, Avila, Ottawa, and Friends Universities. I have consulted and presented locally and nationally on the relationship of emotional intelligence and professional success. I have authored more than a dozen articles on that topic for the popular press. My colleagues and I at Counseling and Educational Support Services work to translate the latest research and thinking into everyday practical solutions for students, residents, and staff.
