Education: I received my B.S. in Health Sciences from James Madison University (1998), my M.A. in Counseling from University of Maryland-College Park (2000), and my Ph.D. in Leadership & Change Studies (Interdisciplinary Social Sciences) (2008).

Research Interests: As co-PI of the Brain Injury Research Team (BIRT), my research investigates access to crisis intervention services for neurotrauma survivors, particularly those with complex neurobehavioral presentations; neuroethics in brain injury; and the lived experience of women caregivers. Also a methodologist, I am involved in a collaborative autoethnography on positionality (with current doctoral students) and various projects advancing critical, decolonial methodologies. Recently, I authored an interactive e-text for APA PsychLearn on Qualitative Inquiry.

Dissertations: I am able to serve as methodologist on qualitative and/or mixed methods dissertations.

Education:
I received my B.A. in English at the College of William and Mary (1992) where I also studied psychology. I then attend James Madison University where I earned a graduate degree in Counseling (MA/EdS; 1995) followed by a Psy.D. Assessment and Measurement (2001). As a counselor, I work from largely a CBT perspective; however, I also incorporate somatic approaches to address trauma, C-PTSD, and compassion fatigue.

Research Interests:
As a methodologist and counselor, I am interested in a wide range of topics and methodological approaches. My primary areas of interest include: integrated behavioral and primary health care in rural areas; primary healthcare provider mental health post COVID; identity development and mental health; student partnership in learning and assessment; and instrument development. While I am largely trained in quantitative methods, my research incorporates mixed methods approaches.

Dissertations: Available to serve on dissertation committees as a methodologist.
