My research interests tend to be focused on practical application of theory into the provision of assessment and treatment of juvenile delinquency and its associated factors. In particular, I am interested in how to improve the treatment milieu through training and support of direct caregiver staff
My primary interest in teaching focuses on the clinical aspects of counseling. How theory is expressed in the counseling session is of particular interest to me.
