<\/h4>\n<\/h4>\nOffice<\/strong>: I am an alumna of the Mental Health Counseling and Behavioral Medicine Program at Boston University School of Medicine and am\u00a0a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in the state of\u00a0Massachusetts. I am employed\u00a0as a Project Director\/Clinical Interventionist for an NIMH funded HIV Prevention Study with the Homeless and Mentally Ill at the\u00a0Boston\u00a0Medical\u00a0Center, working with Drs. Brady, Berger-Greenstein, and Levy-Bell. In addition, I am\u00a0an adjunct faculty member at\u00a0Emmanuel\u00a0College, where I have taught courses in Counseling Theory and Techniques, Internship in Psychology, and General Psychology. Prior to my current positions, I worked at a non-profit organization in\u00a0Boston\u00a0providing individual\/group therapy and crisis stabilization counseling to adults on parole and federal probation with acute mental health needs. I have experience working as part of multidisciplinary care teams\u00a0providing individual and group psychotherapy, substance abuse counseling, and crisis counseling to adults facing multiple challenges. I enjoy working with disadvantaged individuals in an effort to promote health and wellness among a population affected by mental illness.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Q: Please describe theoretical orientation and your teaching philosophy<\/b><\/p>\n Theoretical Orientation:<\/p>\n My theoretical orientation is grounded in Cognitive-Behavioral Theory with a Person-Centered approach. I\u00a0frequently incorporate\u00a0Motivational Interviewing techniques as part of my clinical practice.<\/p>\n Teaching Philosophy:<\/p>\n As a component to experiential learning, it is important that each student feels comfortable participating and is able to honestly discuss achievements, as well as missteps along the way. My approach emphasizes creating an environment of trust and fostering a collaborative atmosphere that encourages open communication for students.<\/p>\n Q: Why did you choose to enter the field of counseling psychology?<\/b><\/p>\n Answer:<\/em> My interest in understanding the nuances of human behavior is a driving force both academically and professionally. While studying in college and graduate school, I applied what started out as genuine curiosity of human behavior and relationships to courses and internships in counseling and psychology. The opportunity to incorporate biological, psychological and social factors into both theory and practice is what ultimately drew me to the field of Health Psychology.\u00a0 Working with homeless, mentally ill, and disenfranchised clients from a variety of ethnicities and backgrounds has become a passion of mine. I have found helping others in a clinical capacity to be incredibly fulfilling and rewarding.<\/p>\n Q: What do you enjoy most about teaching in the MHCBM Program?<\/b><\/p>\n Answer:<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>As a graduate of the program, I have truly enjoyed the opportunity to give back to the MHCHM program as part of the adjunct faculty. Now that I am on the other side of the classroom experience after working in the field for a few years, I continue to be impressed with the level of clinical knowledge that the students have gained in their first few semesters at BU. I have enjoyed connecting with students and helping them navigate their first clinical cases as a supervisor. Having been in their shoes, I fully appreciate the challenges and achievements of the graduate level practicum and internship experience.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n Emmanuel College, Department of Psychology:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Teaching Professional Office: 72 East Concord Street Robinson Bldg.
