My Beliefs

Adventure, discovery and exploration could be words to describe how my life has unfolded before me and how I have journeyed through it. My soul is at its fullest when I am discovering new things about life, working with others, and learning from them. I take very seriously the experience of others and feel deep compassion for the struggles we all face in life.

When we can create meaningful relationships, miraculous things can happen. Life is a process of change and unfolding. I believe that nothing is ever static, and that we all have an opportunity to experience life differently. I believe that we can live freely and joyfully, and if this isn’t your experience, then let’s check it out and find out why.

Credentials

I have a B.S. in Psychology with a minor in conflict resolution.

I received my training in coaching from the Portland Centre for Coach Training in 2003 and received my Parent Coach training from Parent as Coach, located here in Portland as well. 

I am currently attending Lewis and Clark graduate school in the field of Counseling Psychology and look forward to continuing in the field after completing my coursework.

I live, work, and go to school in Portland, Oregon.  I am the mother of a beautiful 8-year-old daughter and partner to a wonderfully creative, loving and successful man.

I enjoy running with my dog (featured left), doing yoga whenever possible, spending time with my family, reading, and integrating new ideas into my practice.  I love music, the arts, and reading good poetry while sipping fine wine… and of course any adventure that awaits me.
