Teaching

“Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand” Hsüntze

I teach and mentor like I do therapy: relying heavily on connection, interaction, and integration to promote experiential learning. I promote this by encouraging my students to connect with course content, others, and themselves. Throughout the college and university courses I have taught and in relevant tutoring experiences, I have had three central aims: to help students engage in critical thinking, broaden their worldview, and integrate knowledge with their life experiences.

My teaching interests mirror my research and clinical interests. I am interested in promoting positive mental health for individuals with minority sexual and gender identities for whom faith is an important part of their experience. I am also interested in teaching research methods and statistics to emerging researchers in a way that helps them develop confidence in their abilities.
