For most of my professional life I have been a worry tamer, and a simplifying translator of complexity.
The unifying vision of my work in the world is that regardless of the HOW of what I do, the WHAT is always involved with providing the useful information, alternative interpretations, powerful questions, and grounded perspectives needed to understand what seems foreign, mysterious, complicated, or confusing.
My background and expertise ranges from having been a journalist and editor, to counselor, coach, educator, and now a writer in multiple genres. This has required earning a bachelor's degree in communication arts, certification as an advanced clinical hypnotherapist, a master's degree in counseling psychology and adult education, and a doctorate in psychology with emphasis on consciousness, spirituality, and naturopathic and transpersonal psychology.
