I have been passionately working in the psychology profession for over 35 years. I’m honored to work in a field where I am continually inspired to deepen, stretch and grow both personally and professionally by my incredible teachers, colleagues and clients. My background is in family systems, with a Masters in Counseling Psychology from Pepperdine University. Soon after earning my Masters, I moved to New York City where I began my private practice as a counselor while volunteering at Manhattan Center for Living, a non-profit center supporting individuals living with HIV/AIDS, and where I facilitated a weekly support group for women. My experience specializing in mind/body health gave me an opportunity to work as a behavioral health counselor, lecturer and workshop presenter at Canyon Ranch in the Berkshires. Twenty-five years ago I moved to Washington state where I continued my mind/body wellness specialty work in private practice and through teaching workshops at UW Women’s Center, Cancer Care Alliance and Cancer Lifeline.I have also had the privilege of teaching workshops for women in Denver, the Bay Area, and San Juan Island, incorporating expressive arts, mindfulness, guided visualization, collage and equine-assisted therapy. For the last several years, I have been working primarily online with individuals and couples from all over the world. I am currently licensed in the state of Washington (LMHC) and in Colorado as (LPC). I'm also a registered hypnotherapist, as well as trained in EMDR, EAGALA (equine-assisted therapy) and Narrative Coaching. When I’m not actively doing the work I love, I enjoy exploring new places near and far, cooking with my family and friends and hiking the coastal and forest trails with our big teeth smiling puppy, Shanti.
