Prior to becoming a therapist, I practiced as an educator and consultant, developing and teaching courses and customized workshops for college students and corporate clients. I'm skilled as a designer and developer of instructional materials, as a group facilitator, and as a writer. I've presented at national and international conferences to audiences of all sizes. My additional training as a coach enhances my ability to bring lively inquiry and motivation to the groups I facilitate.

I provide customized consulting and training services for agencies, professional associations, and specialized audiences in the following areas:

• creativity and innovation
• design thinking for therapists and clients
• information systems design for healthcare organizations
• multicultural, multiracial individuals, couples, and families
• visual communication and visual literacy

For helping professionals, I'm now at work on a new venture, building an online course and coaching program to help therapists become more creative in life and work, the More Creative Therapist.

Please contact me to discuss your consulting and training needs. I would be happy to provide more detail on my qualifications and past experience in this area.
