Education

I graduated from Florida Atlantic University with a PhD in Counseling (I think the glee on this picture speaks volumes). This CACREP-accredited doctoral program emphasizes research and leadership. I love doing research (nerd alert!) and so I enjoyed it immensely. During this program I created and tested a new therapeutic intervention called Sign your Feelings, which combines teaching hearing clients specific American Sign Language (ASL) vocabulary, practicing emotional disclosure, and placing a strong accent on the alliance between therapists and their clients. For anybody who is interested in reading it they can find my Doctoral dissertation on this link. If you'd like to receive an electronic copy from me directly, just reach out by email. ​

​

Before my PhD I did a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Lynn University in Boca Raton. Way (and I mean waaaaaay) prior to that, in the 80's - I got a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Trinity College of Vermont (that was so long ago that I did my senior thesis on a TYPEWRITER... that I had to BORROW!)
