Guided by my insatiable curiosity, quest for deeper meaning, empathetic heart and keen intuition, I have chosen a diverse career path, bridging the practices of Psychology, Spirituality, Energy Healing and Feng Shui.  My passion and expertise for creating inner harmony in the lives and homes of my clients has been sought out in television and radio interviews as well as numerous newspaper and magazine articles for the past three decades. 

My interest in the topic of GRATITUDE has led me to co-author a book entitled Soul Whispers III – Soul Wisdom for Living the Life of Your Dreams where I discuss “The Courage to Choose Gratitude – No Matter What.” I write:  “Be a student of gratitude. Let the hardship be your lesson and let courage be your teacher. Gratitude softens us and courage makes us stronger. The marriage of these two gives birth to love, hope, compassion and joy.” You may purchase this book directly through me, or from www.amazon.com or your local bookstore. Be prepared to feel inspired, uplifted and thoroughly entertained!

 

As an international speaker, University of Washington instructor and collaborator with a world-wide team of writers for the humanitarian movie “The Difference”, I am on a perpetual mission to inspire the expansion of my own and others’ higher consciousness.  Toward this end, I received a Master’s degree in Social Work (MSW) from the University of Washington (1981) and have brought my nurturing and compassionate style to my psychotherapy private practice since 1981.  In addition to my professional certification as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have also expanded my career by becoming a Certified Soul Coach, Master Feng Shui Practitioner, Certified Past Life Coach, and Transformational Energy Healer.

 

What a joy it has been to maintain my psychotherapy practice of over 30 years and love it more each year! My extensive clinical experience has also been gained by serving as a Medical Social Worker at Swedish, Harborview and Children’s Hospitals, Clinical Supervisor and Lead Therapist at a mental health center, Court-appointed County Designated Mental Health Professional (CDMHP), Assistant to the Director of King County Drug Treatment Programs, Co-Founder and Clinical Advisor to a battered women’s shelter, and Clinical Supervisor to UW and Antioch University graduate students.  As a member of a US Delegation to China, I gave a keynote presentation at the Pan Asian International Conference on Mental Health on the therapeutic modality of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
