Dr. Reka strives to provide a warm and trusting environment in all her classes, where students can openly collaborate, and feel a sense of inclusion regardless of background. Creating a sense of community, student-led, co-creation of learning while holding a rigorous standard are the cornerstones of her teaching philosophy.
My research focus has been supervision, LGBTQ+, multicultural issues and couples topics. I will link my publications below. My current publication in the works is how to apply the principles of sexuality counseling to couples work and is due for it’s first draft in October.
