Research and Academic Interests

I'm an Assistant Professor in Counseling Psychology at the University of Texas (hook em'). I teach courses in psychological assessment and counseling theories both at the graduate and undergraduate level. At UT, my main research area involves addressing men's underutilization of counseling services including alternative ways of marketing and providing therapy to "counseling resistant men." Hence, from a personal, professional, and research perspective, I am acutely aware of the difficulty that men generally have in seeking help from a counselor (or anyone else). I find this to be an important and timely issue and have found ways to incorporate what I've learned into my work as a Psychologist. For example, I will also often acknowledge and discuss this difficulty as well as the struggle men often have in "opening up" and being more expressive and emotional in relationships.

SELECTED ARTICLES

These articles tend to be for more "academic" audiences. However, I do feel they have some relevance (I hope) for the more general public. In addition, I will occasionally refer clients to some other readings that I feel are particularly relevant for their concerns.
