A Little Bit About Me…
My background includes over 25 years working in the mental health, social services, criminal justice, education and alternative healing fields. I have extensive experience as a crisis intervention and conflict resolution specialist, working with at-risk children and adults. A core component of my expertise is the formative experiences of my own life, which I use to help participants connect, release defenses and recognize the transformative power available through our personal and collective experiences.
I use creative methods of team-building, empowerment and education to engage my audiences. I simplify and present complex and sometimes difficult material to staff, students, parents and attendees in ways that are safe, sensitive and inclusive. With humor, expertise, compassion and insight, my goal is to help people understand that our problems do not need to be permanent obstacles, but rather are unique opportunities for successful change.
“We can honestly acknowledge the social challenges we face along with a commitment to actually resolve them. Talking around the problem is not enough”
