My research and scholarship chiefly focuses on identifying ways counselor training programs can help students develop therapeutic presence with their clients. I am in different stages of completion for several other projects adjacent to this topic, such as creating a conceptual model for therapeutic present pedagogy in counselor training, understanding the psychophysiological aspects of therapeutic presence in-session, exploring the political/religious values' influence on ethical decision making, examining how nested models of counselor education influence on student anxiety and self-efficacy, discussing therapeutically present responces to crisis in schools, and continuing the validation of the Family Adjustment Measure(FAM). Most recently I am a co-author of the book Counselor Self-Care, published by the American Counseling Association.
