A.B. with Honors in International Relations, Brown University; M.A. in Philosophy and Social Policy, American University; Ph.D. in Philosophy, University of Maryland at College Park.

Too many to list! But mostly from the western tradition, and I am reading a lot of Iris Murdoch and Mary Warnock right now.

Issues I have specific interests and experience thinking through problems of moral distress & moral injury, personal identity/agency, personal and professional ethics, the good life, meaning & value. I also work with students to navigate the transition from college to career.
Approaches I work with both individuals and groups, and have assisted clients navigating a wide range of personal and organizational problems beyond the list above. Sessions may be conducted in person or online; for clients who prefer thinking through reading and writing, "bibliotherapy" and digital correspondence are also possible.
