Biography
-
I am a Registered Professional Counselor Associate in Oregon and a Mental Health Counselor Associate in Washington State. I am supervised by Margaret Eichler, PhD, LPC, NCC, ACS. I completed my practicum and internship in Texas under the supervision of Matthew Whalen, EdD, LPC-S. I am an Adjunct Faculty member of the Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling, Department of Counseling, Therapy, and School Psychology.
I grew up in Los Angeles’s multicultural San Fernando Valley and lived in many parts of the USA in addition to Berlin and Hong Kong. Upon earning a BA, MA, and PhD in Comparative Religious Studies, I spent a dozen years as a professor, teaching a variety of subjects to a variety of students at universities large and small.
Among several publications, I coedited a collection of original essays, Disciplining Freud on Religion (Lexington, 2010). I also started and ran a small academic book publishing company.
After selling the company, I was determined to fulfill my abiding desire to help people grow their best and truest selves. I am involved in earth-based religious practices and follow a path called Diamond Approach.
