| Professional Background |
|---|
| I studied with Hal Stone from 1978 to 1984 and received my doctorate in Transformation Psychology at International College with him as my mentor. I wrote the first training manual and video for Voice Dialogue and dreamwork for my dissertation. I've been in private practice since 1981. I've done Voice Dialogue and dreamwork with clients for approximately 30,000 hours. I also am the creator and president of the Authentic Self Foundation. I have been nominated for humanitarian awards at St. Jude's hospital for my work with Traumatic Brain Injury. I've also studied for six years at the Spiritual Arts Institute, studying spiritual psychology and applying it to my practice, along with Voice Dialogue, dreamwork and the Authentic Self manual. I did advance trainings with Hal and Sydra at Hal's home at Delos from 2000 to 2008 on a yearly basis and continue to stay in touch with them. |
