About Me

Welcome, I am glad you stopped by.  I thought I would share a little bit about who I am and how I think…I love to write.  Writing gives me freedom to speak – whether anyone listens or not, I get to say it.  I find pleasure in writing children’s picture books, early readers, as well as, poetry.  I study life, energy, nature, and things (that is vague on purpose)…and I enjoy thinking and creating…through drawing, designing, taking photos, and cooking.

I love to be outside: snowshoeing, hiking, bicycling, and kayaking…and driving, like that Sunday afternoon drive to “nowhere” where you “get lost” and then find your way back home.

In my profession, I am an integrative psychotherapist. Many ask what integrative psychotherapy is.  Let me tell you what it means for me: I see the individual holographically as mind, body, and spirit. I believe in a quantum approach to healing; we are all energy, and energy is a part of all healing. I see my purpose as “being a healing coach”…holding space with the person for his/her own self-healing, offering guidance and integrating mind-body care to support the individual in coming to know who he/she truly is.  We have a God-given knowing of who we are, but through experience, life, relationships, challenges, trauma, we lose that true knowing.  My desire is to help others come back to their knowing.  I have the privilege of working with children, teens, adults, and families.   I also work specifically with trauma-related and attachment-based issues with both children and adults.

Most of all I am blessed to have you read this blog…please enjoy.
