a lttle about me
Growing up in Michigan as one of seven brothers was a lot fun. My 20’s was spent traveling and and getting to know different cultures. Teaching in Spain at an international school on the island of Mallorca , teaching at a maximum security prison for the criminally insane, and living above the Arctic Circle with Inupiaq Eskimos in Alaska are just a few. My first profession was a full career as a teacher. At 58 I started my degree as a counselor and then opened my practice in Michigan. I was president of the Michigan Association for Marriage and Family Counselors. In 2016 I moved to Seattle. I am happiest when hiking trails in the Cascade Mountains or out roaming the Olympic Peninsula. There I enjoy waterfalls, hot springs and sitting next to cool alpine lakes. I enjoy kayaking, canoeing, and swimming. There’s a pattern here . . . water! I also work out with a trainer three times a week to keep in shape. Every morning I sit out on my terrace, reading research for my clients and reflecting on life. I play drums, piano, and the violin. The cello is my current interest. I continue to learn.
