I have been fascinated with healing and mental health, and especially how the mind, body and spirit are connected, ever since I was very young. I obtained a Bachelors degree in Psychology in 1977, then in Nursing in 1985 to try to merge these fields together. After working in pediatrics and then in adolescent and adult psychiatric settings for some time, I decided to obtain a Masters in Psychiatric Nursing to enable me to open an outpatient private practice. I worked with New Life Clinics doing Christian counseling as an outpatient therapist from 1995 to 2000, and then opened my own practice in 2000. Since then I have had private practices in both Boston and Denver, doing traditional and non-traditional types of therapy, with those from a Christian background as well as with those that prefer a more standard approach.
