Research Interests
The vast majority of my research is qualitative, and specifically uses consensual qualitative research (CQR). As a former high school English teacher, I am drawn to words and language, and the examination of their meaning. I find that a qualitative approach to empirical inquiry is often the best means to address the questions that fascinate me,and to develop meaningful answers to those questions. The primary topics of my research include the psychotherapy relationship and process,training and supervision, and advising relationships and processes.
