I was trained to understand the delicate interaction between mind, body, emotions, and psychopharmacology. Not only that, but, from years of helping people and undergoing extensive analytic work myself, I have come to understand that we all struggle with hurts, hangups, and habits that block communication, distort feelings, cause depression, anger, and, that sometimes reveal underlying chemical imbalances in the brain. Whether our dysfunctional behaviors are learned or biochemically derived, they are typically rooted in unresolved past experience of growing up in our families of origin. My work has involved helping people overcome their past and walk in freedom.
I believe that people change because they have hope that things can be different. Thus, change unfolds as we 1) understand why we do what we do, and 2) learn (internalize) new responses to triggers of old dysfunctional behaviors so that negative reaction cycles are broken. I serve as a portal helping people embrace new ways of living, whether as clinician or pastor.
I am also a pastor. The gestalt has changed. What was foreground - psychiatry, is now background. Ministry is now foreground. And, I use many of the same skills. Not only that, but I have learned much from people who have taught me over the years as I pastored churches across the country. I am currently planting a new church in Orange County, CA. with outreach to people who are "turned off" to church and institutionalized religion. Our website: www.connectionscommunitychurchirvine.net
EDUCATION: University California, San Francisco Medical Centre, San Francisco, CA, Doctor of Mental Health; Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, CA, Master of Divinity; Harvard University Graduate School of Education, Cambridge, MA, Master of Education.
I paint in oils, sketch in charcoal, and write for publication. I enjoy all kinds of music, and have my own guitar and piano which I want to learn how to play. I like movies, theatre, symphony, gourmet dining, and leisure rides offroading throughout California with my husband, Stephen, and dog Benji.
I am married to my best friend who has journeyed with me on the road of practicing what this book is about. Also, I am blessed to be a grandmother of two darling children, a 7 year old and a 3 month old, and proud mother of an only daughter and her wonderful husband.vizualizați mai puține
