It has been my pleasure and honor to serve the Society as a member
of the Council of Representatives these past three years. I have
worked as a collaborator and mediator on a number of issues
including Model Licensure, Psychopharmacology Curriculum and our
Resolution Against Torture. I enjoy this work as an opportunity to
put our Counseling psychology values and perspectives in action.
The time has never been better for the values, prospective and
collaborative skills that characterize Counseling Psychology to
influence the larger organization of APA. We have been successful
in our appointments to Boards and Committees. We have worked
collaboratively to bring multicultural competency to the center of
our thinking about the science and practice of psychology. We are
promoting the science of Counseling Psychology on multiple fronts.
Yet there is much more to do.
We have been very well represented on Council by our former
representatives and by the excellent leadership of our members on
the Board of Directors. We have formed strong collaborations and
helped resolve several controversial issues. I welcome the
opportunity to continue on this team.
I have served the Society in a number of roles over my career. I
have been a member of SAW, SERD, GLB; supervision and the new
interest group on globalization. I have served on the Awards,
chaired Fellows and served the Board as the Vice President for
Education and as President. Currently I am on the APA Board of
Educational Affairs and the Counseling Psychology representative on
the Council of Specialties.
Finally, I received my Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in
1977 and joined the staff of the Counseling and Consultation Service
at The Ohio State University. I am currently the Director and
adjunct faculty in the Counseling Psychology program. My career has
been an integration of practice, training, teaching, research,
advocacy and administration.
I believe I could continue to be a positive force on Council. I
look forward to continued service to our Society and our profession.
