Since graduate school and throughout my professional career, I have worked in suicide prevention.  My empirical research has particularly emphasized the sub-specialization of clinical suicidology (i.e., assessment, treatment, and clinical management of suicidal patients).  I provide a great deal of clinical and research consultation to various counseling centers, clinics, hospitals, and research centers. I also maintain a part-time clinical practice, offer professional training, and provide forensic consultation.  I teach courses primarily in clinical psychology, assessment, psychodynamic theory, research methodology, and ethics/professional practice.
