“As a scholar and educator in counseling and coaching psychology, I envision contributing to the advancement of practical and socially grounded scholarship—research that empowers individuals to live with greater well-being, meaning, and relational depth. Through interdisciplinary and human-centered approaches, my goal is to bridge theory and practice in ways that are both academically rigorous and life-enhancing.”

“I am especially committed to cultivating a positive academic culture where graduate students can explore their research interests with confidence, creativity, and purpose. I guide them to recognize their unique capacities and to engage in research that is methodologically sound, socially relevant, and personally meaningful. I believe that academic work should not only generate knowledge but also nurture the researcher’s inner growth and ethical awareness.”

“At the undergraduate level, I seek to provide students with foundational knowledge and self-reflective experiences that spark curiosity and critical thinking. Ultimately, my vision is to support students—both graduate and undergraduate—as they become scholars and practitioners who contribute to a more compassionate, resilient, and flourishing society.”
