After guest lecturing a couple times at Argosy University on my self-care research, I was hired as an adjunct professor, and have now taught 38 graduate courses. Little did I know then that training, educating and inspiring future therapists would become one of my greatest passions. Now I teach up to 6 courses a semester and have been the assistant clinical director, inter-rim program chair and professor of practice.
