I am an LMFT (MFC18894) who has practiced psychotherapy for over 40 years.  I have been a trainer and educator in the areas of compassionate communication skills, psychology, cross-cultural perspectives in therapy and healing, mindfulness, and compassion cultivation methods. I have intensive meditation retreat experience, serving as the resident psychotherapist. I bring my direct experience, integrative skill-based knowledge, and passion for transformation to my teaching, individual coaching, and psycho-spiritual process.

“This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond”.

Guest House - Rumi
