| Bio: | I am eager for students to understand and experience the classic definitions and meanings they bring to concepts and realities of lives of individuals, families, groups, and communities. I believe that dialogue is essential in life and learning. I try to stay open to new life in every aspect of my life, teaching, practice, living, and loving. I am a transplanted West Virginian rooted in New York. I enjoy talking, listening, and laughing with my family, friends, students, clients, and new folks. |
