Psychologist, educator, and builder — my ultimate goal is to help individuals, families, and communities thrive.

I hold a PsyD in Clinical Psychology and a PhD in Organization and Management, and I have spent the past 25 years in doctoral psychology education, teaching, building programs, leading accreditation efforts, and working to create conditions where students and faculty can do their best work. I have served as Core Faculty, Faculty Chair, Program Director, and Dean, and through all of it the work I have found most meaningful is developing caring and competent clinicians and the programs and systems that train them.

My clinical identity is humanistic. I teach and supervise using person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused practice, and I have spent more than a decade working within social justice and strengths-based frameworks at the doctoral level. I co-authored The Strength-Based Clinical Supervision Workbook with Dr. Jessica Cowan (Routledge, 2022) and am editing The Essential Self-Care Companion (Cognella, forthcoming 2027).

I currently serve as President-Elect of APA Division 46, the Society for Media Psychology and Technology, with my presidential term beginning in 2027. My focus there is on what it means to thrive as a human being in a world increasingly shaped by technology, and how psychology can help people navigate that well. I also direct the Positive Psychology and Technology Lab (+PsyTechLab), which brings students and faculty together to explore AI, digital therapeutics, and the future of mental health care.

In 1999, I founded AllPsych.com to give psychology students free access to the resources they needed. It now reaches about 50,000 people each month across more than 30 countries, has been cited by over 200 professional organizations and universities, and has held APA-approved continuing education status since 2015.

I am always glad to connect with people working in psychology education, clinical training, or digital mental health. The best way to reach me is through LinkedIn
