where she facilitated support groups and worked individually with family members who lost a loved one due to a terminal illness.
She is a member of the Association for Death Education and Counseling (ADEC) and has earned a Fellow
in Thanatology (FT) through ADEC. Her dissertation research on teen suicide led her to meet with and learn about high risk teens at the Youth Psychiatric Unit at Erie County Medical Center. Her work allowed her to gain a new-found understanding of
how teens who attempt suicide think.
She loves working with students in an educational setting and considers it a privilege to assist individuals who are finding their way in life. One of her favorite quotes is from
C. S. Lewis: “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”

her to view the individual in the context of a system. She helps students navigate the process of understanding their identity within and beyond the context of the St. Bonaventure community.
She is passionate about utilizing her Adlerian theoretical approach to help students work through crisis experiences while building their sense of self-esteem and self-efficacy.
