I enjoy teaching immensely and counseling just as much. I see these responsibilities as well yoked… one informs the other in such a fashion as to keep me on my toes, keep my growing intentional, and keep my impact on students headed in a healthy direction. I am developmental at my core. All humans are in a never-ending process of becoming and have immeasurable capacity and equal responsibility to work diligently to that end. I’m a support, encourager, mentor where allowed, and educator/assessor of the impact of that education in demonstration of knowledge, application, and disposition. I value deeply the process and impact of secure attachment development and maintenance. For fun, my newest twist is the study of this process outside of humans and in the interactions of other living things. My current focus and plan for research involves attachment between elephant moms and nannies and their young. It’s looking like we may have distinct parallels and some things to learn from these amazing animals.
