My degrees are a BS in Psychology, an MS in Mental Health Counseling and all but dissertation for a PHD in Psychology. I was a counselor for 10 years and have taught psychology courses for the past 20 years. I have a passion working with teenagers and hope to focus on topics in psychology that I have found my students to have enjoyed over the years. 

Individual activities will be assigned to each individual to allow him or her to assess different areas such as study skills or time management. Communication styles and problem solving strategies will be reviewed as well. Because the course is a flexible scheduling course and will not have live meetings, there will be weekly prerecorded videos of the lessons to watch, as well as weekly questions to answer and a discussion prompt to participate in on the Outschool platform.  

A certificate of completion and a written assessment of the learner's participation and achievement in the class will be provided at the conclusion of the 4 weeks. 

No live meetings, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.

I will be providing hand-outs with a variety of exercises for each of the four weeks.
