When we are honest with ourselves, we know the truth of the opening line of Scott Peck’s best-selling book, The Road Less Traveled, “Life is difficult.” Becoming the person one is ‘intended’ to be takes a commitment to inner work, but we need not, often cannot, do this work alone. The healing of wounds and gaining inner strength usually best happens in a safe and understanding relationship with an experienced guide. In my practice, I use my thirty-plus years of training and experience in psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, pastoral counseling, and clinical chaplaincy to assist you 1) to heal the wounds that linger from ‘the slings and arrows” of life, 2) to develop inner strength and confidence to deal with life’s inevitable difficulties, and 3) to find and live the fulfilling and loving life of which you are capable. It is possible to live happily!

Transformational breathing is a self-empowering technique using conscious breathing to improve many levels of health. There are many spiritual practices built around breathing.  In all forms of Yoga, the breath is an important component. Tia Chi and most Martial Arts work intensely with the breath.  As you open to your breath, you open to your life. It’s time to transcend the limitations of our sensory perceptions.

I have been practicing since 1978 under a California Marriage and Family Therapy license.  In 2002 I moved to Vashon, placed my license on inactive status, and began practicing as a registered counselor on the island. 

I taught in a doctoral program since 1988, and have published a book (Constructing the Self, Constructing America: A Cultural History of Psychotherapy) and many articles (such as “Why the Self Is Empty,” “Iron Fists/Velvet Gloves: A Study of a Mass Marathon Psychology Training,” “Ideology Obscured,” “Will Managed Care Change Our Way of Being?” and “Between Arrogance and a Dead-End”). 

I work with individuals and couples, using a psychodynamic, interpretive, relational approach with special concern for political meanings.

Psychotherapy for Adults and Children

I have worked as a psychotherapist for 20 years.   I seek to provide a safe, supportive environment where you can feel respected and free to explore your feelings, issues, dreams and visions.  We can journey together into uncharted territory of who you have been, who you are, and who you are becoming.  Grief work, life transitions, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, “stuckness”, creative or spiritual crisis, parenting issues. 

Providing psychotherapy for adults, children, mothers & babies, teens and couples.  Insurance available out of network.

Energy Medicine Healing and  Munay-ki Rites

I am pleased to announce the addition of this powerful work to my psychotherapy practice.  Energy medicine healing, as taught by Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D, of the 4 Winds Society, can be a viable adjunct to my therapy practice, or used alone to produce mental, physical and spiritual clearing. 

I have practiced psychotherapy for 20 years and in addition to years of traditional (analytic, bioenergetic, and expressive arts) training I have also studied spiritual practices such as meditation, shamanism, and indigenous healing arts.   I have taught Indigenous Healing Practices at Bastyr University. 

Munay-ki Rites are energy transmissions, given free of charge, to provide protection and transformation.  For more information see 
4 Winds Society, Munay-ki.

Please also see a description of my psychotherapy practice above.

Tel: (206) 228-2101
Fax: (206) 463-2832 

I provide general health (medical) care to people in their homes.  Often episodic health care needs (such as sore throats, urinary tract infections, ear infections, etc) are easier taken care of by a home visit instead of waiting in a waiting room to see a provider.  I do no chaperoned visits, but most general health care does not require this type of visit.  I am an experienced (and certified) Rehabilitation Nurse, and enjoy helping people remain in their homes as they age and/or develop disabilities.  I am experienced in helping manage pressure ulcers (bed sores) and other wound care.   I do not accept insurance, but my rates are reasonable.

Also, I offer individual healing music, depending on the need and wishes of the client, usually including the harp.
