Biography

With over 25,000 face to face hours working with clients, I integrate diverse schools of healing and transformation in my work with clients and groups.  With traditional psychotherapy, mindfulness training, the latest interpersonal neurobiology research, even my work with a Lakota Medicine Woman, and Vipassana Meditation, I bring you a rich and supportive environment to awaken your own intuition, wisdom and creativity.  In leading SoulCollage® workshops since 2004, you’ll delight in  the discoveries I’ve made in some surprising ways to work with your SoulCollage® cards including the Split Eye Reading Technique, SoulCollage® Lineage work, and using your SoulCollage® cards to deconstruct anxiety, depression and trauma patterns stored in your nervous system. And if you’re like me and have a passion for SoulCollage® and want to share it, I offer SoulCollage ® Facilitator Training and/or personal coaching, to help you take your SoulCollage® work from being a hobby to a small business.  Together we can chart a course for your success.  SoulCollage® combined with some of the latest personal growth tools can bring you a sense of aliveness and well-being that comes with integrating body, mind and soul.  And I practice what I teach, so I know it works.

Description of SoulCollage® work

I’ve been collecting images since age 11. I just didn’t know it would turn out to be SoulCollage® back then! When I discovered Seena’s work in November 2003, I felt like a dream had come true . . . finding a tribe of women whose passion co-mingles art, intuition and spirituality. I offer workshops on a wide range of topics including: the Archetypes, Animal Guides and the Seven Spiritual Powers, SoulCollage® & Intuition as well as the annual Breitenbush Retreat with Cindy Brodner LPC. Working with clients individually using their own SoulCollage® cards, both deepens and quickens the process of recovery and growth. After 23 years as a therapist, I’m amazed how SoulCollage® creates breakthroughs for clients. We all have our own answers, and these cards take us straight to the heart of our own truth. I send out a newsletter with class information, tips and ideas on how to use your cards.  Sign up on my web site at www.counseling-portlandoregon.com/Newsletter_Signup.html.

SoulCollage® used in psychotherapy will speed up and deepen your results because imagery goes to the heart of your challenges, and unlocks your wisdom and authenticity.  Imagery puts the neocortex in it's place as a strategist, not a healer.  Using SoulCollage® is like working directly with your nervous system to soothe, integrate and awaken the parts of you that may have been dormant.

Once you've completed the training, you'll be invited to our local SoulCollage® Facilitator group that meets monthly in Portland where we share ideas and inspiration.

Personal work with own SoulCollage® cards

I made cards after reading Seena’s book, but found a whole new depth after making them in a group dedicated to SoulCollage®. Something marvelous happens when we join together in creativity with our human community and the “Neters” as Seena calls them. I work with my cards frequently during the week. I keep a visual journal and use the cards to inspire both painting and words. You can see a few examples of my art at Portlandartcollective@blogspot.com. I also consult my cards just for fun and when I’m puzzled or frustrated. Combined with the Four Questions created by Bryon Katie’s “Loving What Is”, SoulCollage® gives powerful and immediate results with life’s challenges. My SoulCollage® cards are one of my most prized possessions! And I’m so grateful to Seena for bringing this Gift into the world.
