As a clinical supervisor, I am work with highly skilled individuals as they gain training and experience to fulfill educational or licensure goals. Feel free to let me know if you are interested in their services. You can read about each of them on their individual pages on this website and contact them directly to arrange an appointment through my client portal. Working with an Intern (in a Master’s Program or Registered Associate (completed MA earning hours toward licensure) can be a highly rewarding experience for clients that offers the benefit of reduced fees as well as the combined experience and training of the supervisor and the Intern or Associate as cases are discussed during supervisory sessions each week.

I have been married for enough years to experience the requisite ups and downs necessary to realize that I cannot judge anyone for anything they may be experiencing in their lives or marriage.

Mother of 5 grown children with the requisite ups and downs necessary to realize that I cannot take credit for the way my kids turned out.

I was raised in the “church” long enough to know that it requires more grace and love to be in a relationship with others than I have on my own and that even good churches can be hurtful places sometimes.

I worked with teens in residential treatment for long enough to send me photos of their own families, for whom they are trying to do their best.

I studied at almost as many colleges as I have kids: MA in Counseling Psychology from the University of San Francisco, Special Education Teaching Credential from Sonoma State University, BFA in Acting and Directing from USIU-SPVA, and Undergraduate work at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota.

In the New Testament, Peter reminds us that through his “divine power”, Jesus has given us everything we need for “life and godliness through our knowledge of him”. One of the prophetic names of Jesus is “Wonderful Counselor.” Knowing Jesus as our counselor is one of the most powerful ways we can access the resources Peter was talking about for living life as we are created to live it.

As a professional, licensed counselor, I believe I am living out one of the aspects of who I am created to be. It is my heart’s desire that I be, not only a skilled professional with my clients but also a partner with them in laying hold of the provisions Jesus has given them for their own “life and godliness”. I have been continually challenged and humbled by the honest, courageous work of my clients and students over the past 20+ years as we have purposely pursued healing in hurting relationships with themselves, others and our Creator together.

Even though this is an organization where Christian Therapists work together, not all of my clients are Christians. The level of spirituality that enters the session is, of course, determined by my clients.

Nothing gives me more of a sense of fulfillment and purpose than to see my students and my clients “graduate.” To see them move forward in the pursuit of their personal goals and dreams, ready to take on the next phase of their life, is my desire and the purpose of my therapeutic practice as much as it was and is my desire and goal for my own children.
