I have been a member of the faculty since 1991. As a licensed Clinical Psychologist, involved in consultative and clinical activities collateral to my academic endeavors, my emphasis in teaching and research reflects this applied, clinical focus. I coordinate our B.S. program in Clinical Psychology, enabling students the opportunity to specialize in applied coursework and scholarly research. I also appreciate the importance of providing students with direct practical experience in fostering their professional growth, and developed our department internship program some years ago.
Dr. Norvilitis and I currently rotate our role as department Internship Coordinator.
