I offer custom-designed seminars and presentations for general audiences on writing, journaling, self-discovery, and healing. I also offer training for therapists in topics ranging from couples counseling and step-parenting to integrating writing into today’s cutting-edge therapy techniques, such as EMDR.

I have been teaching writing as a method of self-discovery and healing at the University of California Extension, Santa Cruz (Cupertino campus) for a number of years.

Here’s what attendees are saying about my seminars:

“I really enjoyed this class. I feel enlightened—and I’ve never felt enlightened (or even used that word) before. Thank you so much for opening up all these options to deal with life. I feel as though I have such a great tool—and so many different ways to go about it.

—Caitlin Draper, “When Your Heart Speaks, Take Good Notes”

“One of the best instructors I’ve had in a long time.”

—J.M.B., “Writing to Heal”

“I am so excited and thrilled about this class. I can’t wait to tell people about it. It opens up new doors and wonderful possibilities for stretching your spirit.”

—Connie Thompson, “Introduction to the Personal Journal”

Here’s what other instructors and course administrators are saying:

“I just read through the evaluations for “Introduction to the Personal Journal.” They are excellent! Several students mentioned the “safe” environment you establish, your sense of humor, and the natural flow of the material through the day. The evaluations reflect how well prepared and practiced you are—not only at journal writing, but at excellence in teaching. Bravo! “

—Judy Rose, UC-Extension, Santa Cruz

“Such music you create when you teach!”

—Kate Williams Browne, Canada College

Here’s what psychotherapy colleagues are saying:

“Clear, energetic, compact, crisp. Very innovative and vibrant.”

“Excellent. An inspiring presentation. Her passion for her work—her creativity—is evident. A wonderful way to end the conference.”

“A most wonderful workshop and it came at the very best time. Presenter was enthusiastic, respectful of the audience, and shared her experience happily. Well prepared and obviously knowledgeable in this area.”

“Wow! …Useful and creative. Maybe I can get my clients past writer’s block. A sparkler at the end of the day.”
