“I continue to have a private practice on Capitol Hill - with a current interest in the complementary processes of recovery/mental health with aspects of the creative process. I also work more and more with couples, following Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT). In addition to therapy, I have a working studio art practice with a focus on painting. I recieved my MFA in 2007.”

“I offer coaching for individuals: career, work, creativity and work-life balance coaching. My intention is to create a service that encourages meaningful dialogue about the world of work, including where we work, how we work, the meaning of work, what’s working and what is not and what work has meaning for us. Sometimes we may feel like we lose our spirit, or soul, when we work for someone else, but it is possible to get your spirit back and to sustain it at work. I offer critical thinking trainings for organizations. Critical thinking promotes creativity. By learning how to go beyond learning what to think to HOW to think in a clear, precise and purposeful way, we can come up with creative solutions that are useful and relevant to the task at hand. Using a six-step problem-solving process and a systems approach, all people within an organization can learn to move beyond personal biases and think outside the box in order to make better business decisions. I facilitate workshops on: Critical Thinking, Writing Your Life Story, How to Teach what you Know, How to Balance Your Work & Life, How to Find Your Passion and Goal-setting. I also write organizational legacies for companies.

“After 25 years in Seattle/Tacoma, I have moved back to my hometown to care for my lovely 86 year young Mom. Life in rural Minnesota is a welcome change to the hustle of the Seattle metro. It is wonderful being back so close to all my siblings too.”

“Having attended AUS as a student (MA Psychology ‘85), and having worked as the Program Associate in the Master’s Psychology Program from 1989-93, I’m currently in my “”third incarnation”" at Antioch: working as the institutional advancement (IA) associate since June, 2009. It’s wonderful to be back in the stimulating AUS environment, this time in a very different capacity: working with the AUS development and alumni directors. In my spare time I love doing collage and weaving, reading, gardening, spending time in nature, and offering creativity workshops and coaching through my small business of eight years, LifeMuse Creations. Life is good.”

“I have been been working at the Tulalip Tribes for five years now. My work there has been with the adult population. I enjoy doing Art Therapy groups and have three main ones: women’s empowerment, grief & loss and an eating disorders group. I am supervising my second Antioch Art Therapy Intern this year and enjoy continuing to be a part of the Antioch Family in this way. I have returned to Antioch the past few summers to present in the Art Therapy’s Cultural Diversity’s class on my work at Tulalip Tribes. I received my LMHC and ATR this past year and will go for my supervisor status this coming year.”
