Vice President for Student Life

Teaching Philosophy

It has been an exciting blessing to be able to return to Houghton University as a faculty member.ย  Whatโ€™s even more cool is the opportunity to support students in the midst of their struggle.ย  I count it a privilege to have a front seat view into the lives of students; to hear their stories and to journey with them through their time at Houghton.ย  I recognize that biological forces, personal choices and societal issues can all contribute to oneโ€™s health and wellness.ย  Consequently I take a holistic view of mental health, taking into account both science and spirituality as essential elements of healing. I have a profound love for the Lord and it is the foundation for all that I do, both in the Counseling Center, classroom and beyond.ย  Without Him I can do nothing.ย  As Proverbs 3:5-6 says โ€œTrust in the Lord with all your heart. ย Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your pathโ€
