As a Life Coach, teacher and artist, I  work with individuals and groups on expanding self awareness, increasing authentic expression, deepening intimacy with self and others and manifesting personal and collective visions.  My  PsychoSpiritualCreative Perspective is a reflection of  my own  work and education in psychology,  education and practice in spirituality  and being  both a published poet and an award-winning singer-songwriter.

I have  an extensive background in designing and delivering workshops, classes and seminars in business, academic and retreat settings. I have taught diversity seminars across the country for the US West Direct Corporation (now Dex Media),  facilitated numerous team building retreats for companies in Oregon and was an adjunct faculty lecturer in the Psychology Dept. at Southern Oregon University since from 2000-2016. In 2007 I was chosen  by the Northwest Council of Study Abroad to teach a University Psychology program in Athens, Greece.  Currently I co-facilitate a tour to Bali each Fall called Spiritual Bali: A Journey of Transcendent Beauty, Self Nurturing and Falling in Love with your own Deep Wisdom. www.spiritualbalitour.com

Academically I hold both a Bachelors and Master’s degree in Psychology from Southern Oregon University (Ashland, Oregon) and a Doctoral degree in Spirituality from University of Creation Spirituality (Oakland, California).

I’ve  traveled extensively in India, Indonesia, Europe and Africa and lived in both Mexico and Greece. Home is in Ashland, Oregon with my running partner, Kanshin,  a very  handsome, slightly grey-haired, standard poodle!
