I am a professor of psychology and counseling at the State University of New York at New Paltz, where I am currently Director of the Counseling Graduate Program.

My scholarship focuses on constructivism in psychology and psychotherapy. Constructivist psychologists assume that people never know the world independent of a perspective or framework. Thus, they study how people construct meaningful ways to understand themselves and their world.

I am also licensed as a psychologist in New York, where I maintain a small private practice.
