Research
My research interests
focus primarily on mind-body medicine and the ability of contemplative
practices such as guided visual imagery and hypnosis to affect health and
academic performance. I am also interested in the psychological
characteristics of student veterans.
Campus Involvement
I chair the Institutional
Review Board, and manage the daily
operations of the Psychology Laboratory.
- Please
read about the history of the Psych Lab
I sit on the Institutional
Research Advisory Committee, the Academic
Online Committee, and the Online Course Peer Review Committee.
I am involved with
the College within Your Reach Program to motivate middle school and high
school students to attend college.
Professional Memberships
- Association
for Psychological Science (APS), which actively promotes the
science of psychology.
- American Society of
Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH), one of the foremost sources for
legitimate training in hypnosis.
Nature Photography
I am an avid nature
photographer. When I am not occupied by my professorial duties or spending time
with my family, I enjoy pursuing this passion.
Deparmental Philosophy
The Psychology
Department of Inver Hills Community College seeks to foster a scientific
approach to the study of behavior and mental processes. The department
offers a curriculum designed to serve students who will earn an A.A. degree and
do upper-division work, and perhaps graduate work, in psychology. Our
classes are relevant to those who intend to continue their formal education in
career programs, such as nursing and those who plan to take one or several
courses at Inver Hills Community College in pursuit of other learning
goals. We work to promote the belief that gaining knowledge through the
discipline of psychology will enhance personal lives and develop responsible
and educated citizens.
Careers in Psychology
If you are curious
about a career in psychology, I invite you to read Dr.
Who? Traveling through Different Career
Options in Psychology.
If you are thinking
about transferring to another school after Inver Hills Community College, you
might find the College Navigator
to be helpful.
For Fellow Faculty
As college faculty,
it is incumbent that we approach all of our students with awareness and
sensitivity. I invite you to read this brief primer, Psychopathology
in the Classroom: A Primer for
Professors, in which I review some of the more relevant psychological
problems that manifest in the college classroom.
