My specialty is in Ancient Philosophy, especially Aristotelian psychology.  I currently focus on ancient virtue ethics, Stoic ethics, and philosophy as a way of life.  I am presently working toward an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling to explore how philosophy can be integrated with therapy modalities to help people lead more flourishing lives.

 

I mostly teach Ethics as Introduction to Philosophy (PHIL 100) and Philosophical Perspectives (PHIL 200).  I have taught upper division courses on Aristotle's Politics, Aristotle's On the Soul, Character Virtue in Plato and Aristotle, and several versions of courses on natural philosophy in the ancient and modern periods.
