has been a licensed marriage and family therapist since 1986, during which time she was also an Executive Director for several non-profits for 20 years and worked seven years teaching leadership to managers and executives. She is an author, speaker, community leader, Fellow of the American Institute of Stress and creator/founder of the Transform Your Boundaries® workshop and Naming and Taming Overwhelm® workshop.
I have lived and worked on Whidbey Island, Washington, US - in the Langley community since 1986. I raised my family on Whidbey Island. I have also been deeply involved in nearby Snohomish County.
I work as a private practice therapist and I work on issues that are important to me in the world. Being a therapist is deeply satisfying. There is a momentum in a therapeutic contract with clients and it allows me to join with people eager to make changes. I am skilled at navigating through pain and it is satisfying to travel with people to the other side of pain. I enjoy focusing my attention on a single person or a single family during therapy sessions. Watching someone heal or have an insight is a profound experience, unlike any other.
In 1991 I founded Cocoon House, a teen shelter and housing program for youth who have been homeless. I served as Executive Director of Cocoon House for ten years. This organization continues to provide services to teens and holds a very special place in my heart and in the Snohomish County community where it operates.
After leaving Cocoon House, I started a non-profit called One Childhood Lasts a Lifetime. I was given a one million dollar grant to improve conditions for children in family shelters to improve their services for children who were exposed to homelessness. This model was the first of its kind and leveraged tremendous ongoing support for the children in shelters.
After the One Childhood project, I served as the Executive Director of Leadership Snohomish County for 7 years.
In 2014 I completed the book Transform Your Boundaries® and I continue to write and teach on the subject.
In 2017 I completed the book Naming and Taming Overwhelm® For Healthcare and Human Service Providers.
I continue to work in my private practice, speak at events and teach workshops.ver menos
