Although I was in part-time practice while completing my advanced degrees, I went into full-time practice in the mid 1990’s. 

I earned a B.A. and a B.F.A. from Colgate University as a member of the school’s first co-ed class.  I earned both degrees in a total of three years—I was eager to get out in the world and DO things!

I spent over 10 years in the entertainment industry dealing with big-ego executives, TV celebrities as well as the non-famous folks who actually make the shows happen. It was great training for my work as a therapist! After a career in advertising, marketing and promotion—primarily in the TV industry—I heeded “the call” to attend seminary.

I feel that I’ve been given the gift of insight, empathy and intuition. Along with advanced education, these gifts make me exceptionally helpful to talk to, to walk with on a path of discovery and to have by your side as you pursue your solution.

Below is a list of my education and qualifications:
