My work and my life, have been influenced by my life-long deep desire to explore the experience of being human. My philosophy is deeply rooted in the integration of mind, body and spirit. As such, I have tried to see each life, each moment, as sacred and deserving of curiosity and honor.

I have been a psychotherapist and coach for over 25 years, but have been on a journey for my entire life to find deep meaning, freedom of spirit and to be able to celebrate the joy of life itself.

Currently, I have a small private practice that focuses on personal discovery through psychotherapy and coaching. However, I am winding down my private practice as I pursue my love of writing and speaking. I am currently seeking a publisher for my memoir, and will be putting together a collection of my poetry and essays. In addition, I am a fiber art artist doing three dimensional sculptures and canvases. Each day offers an opportunity for artistry and poetry and renewed inner peace and growth. Gratitude for everything in our lives is not possible, but it is possible to live IN gratitude for life itself.

My teachers have been from many sources; my children and grandchildren offer me opportunities to grow and be open to new ideas and perspectives, my clients are so brave and complex and beautiful, and my circle of friends and family teach me in ways they many never know. I have had an exceptional number of professors and mentors as well as poets, artists, and philosophers, both ancient and those in my contemporary life, who inspire me and encourage me with their courage and wisdom and beauty.

Please join me in a deeper whole-hearted journey of life.
