About me



I live my life by the words of Edward Cell. A theme that pervades my life is taking calculated risks to learn about myself and others, and about our world. I have deliberately put myself in situations beyond my comfort zone to test my limits: I participated in Outward Bound, I am a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer - Ukraine 1994-1996, I returned to graduate school as an adult to earn my doctoral degree and again to be certified as a life coach. I initiated several innovative programs as an educator; I teach experientially, an alternative approach to instruction.

I am the mother of a disabled son and I know first-hand its heartaches, strains, and joys. To coaching, I bring compassion for those in similar situations, and knowledge of resources available to parents and/or caretakers of disabled loved ones.

Engagement within my community is also important to me; I have served in volunteer positions as a support group leader for my local chapter of the National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI), as vice-chair of the advisory board for our county's volunteer center, as liaison for a mental health referral service, as chairperson of a cooperative education nursery school, and as a food server in a local soup kitchen.

I hold degrees in psychology, counseling, writing and experiential education; I am certified as a coach by the Hudson Institute of Santa Barbara, and a member of the International Coach Federation (ICF) and uphold the latter's statement of ethics for coaches. I am a member of the International Association of Positive Psychology.

My goal is to remain involved in my professional and personal growth so that, like my coaching clients, I continue to grow and to learn as a result of these experiences.
