ABOUT

About

Throughout my adult life I have explored the question, "How does one person help facilitate change and growth for another?" Whether I am sitting with someone individually, speaking to a group or leading a workshop, my passion is to facilitate deep listening and engage in practices that result in greater self acceptance and ease of living.

​

I have worked as a stay-at-home mom, social worker, psychotherapist and dream worker, in addition to the following:

 

* MSW degree from the University of Georgia in 1993

 

* Completed the Haden Institute's Jungian based Dream Group Leadership Training program in December of 2006

 

*Lead dream groups and give talks at the Haden Institute's Summer Dream and Spirituality Conference and at the Natural Spirituality Regional Gathering in Toccoa, GA 

 

*Completed 80 hours of Level 1 training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy in 2014.

 

*Completed my 2 year Interfaith Ministerial Training and Ordination with One Spirit Learning Alliance in NYC in June of 2017, graduated on June 10th at Riverside Church in NYC.

​

My religious background is Christian. I grew up in a Baptist church and spent much of my adult life as an Episcopalian. I value the wisdom and foundational ethics of all religions, and enjoy learning from them all. While I am currently not an active part of a religious community, I retain a passion for heart-centered and practice-centered Christianity. I welcome working with people from all faith traditions, including atheists and agnostics, who I often feel are one step ahead on the journey toward a life of trust, gratitude and service. 

  Deep listening is active,  dynamic and productive.
