Profile

My interest in multicultural counseling and more specifically, ethnic and racial identity issues began with my investigation of the connection between ethnic identity and academic achievement among Mexican origin youth. I have continued this line of work and believe that counseling psychology has much to add to the dialogue on the educational struggles of Latino subgroups.

However, I have also developed broader interests with regard to identity issues, such as how racial identity constructs, originally designed to capture the experiences of African Americans and White individuals, may or may not capture the experiences of Asian Americans and Latinos.

Having now taught the Multicultural Counseling course for several semesters, my research interests have also come to include training issues within this discipline.
