open the door…..

to your growth, awareness 

 creative expression and authentic self

 

I am excited to begin my Doctorate degree in Spiritual Science this year from the Peace Theological Seminary and Philosophical Institute. I attained my Masters degree from PTS and became an ordained Minister in 2007 from the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness and again in 2010 from the Brigade of Light. Received my masters degree  in Counseling/Psychology from Southwestern College in Santa Fe, NM and completed requirements for Post Graduate work in Art Therapy  from Norwich University in Montpelier, VT in 2000.  Working as an Art Therapist and Counselor  has been a blessing in my life. It is such an honor to work with so many amazing people and be a witness to their growth. I am so grateful to my clients for being some of my best teachers! Expressive arts and transpersonal  counseling have made such an impact in my life. I feel so grateful that I can share tools with my clients for greater awareness and empowered living.

My gratitude goes out to all my  teachers who have shared their vision, their wisdom and their love with me.

I play and work as an artist, art therapist, psychotherapist, life coach educator and facilitator. I enjoy working with all ages and in a variety of arenas.  I revel in art exploration with wood burning, painting, ceramics and wildlife realism in order to bring awareness to environmental concerns. I have enjoyed teaching psychology at community colleges and offer seminars in peace education, meditation and  healing.  I volunteer and work as a consultant and facilitator for  peace programs, international youth programs, Insight Seminars, hospitals, foster programs, women’s programs, residential treatment centers, schools, and prison projects.  Areas that address the authentic needs of individuals,  groups and organizations are key components to enrichment workshops and sessions.
