I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Health and Human Development from Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana in 1995, and a Master of Arts Degree in Applied Behavioral Science with a specialty in Leadership in Human Systems from the Leadership Institute of Seattle/Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington in 1998. 

Specializing in a practical approach to life's inevitable changes and challenges, my goal is to assist individuals and organizations in maximizing resources and talents; turning dreams into reality. My passion and purpose in life is to live and facilitate the self-discovery that leads to joyful, caring and creative living.

Calling on many of the leading teachers in the field of human development and time-proven cutting edge Behavioral Science I have facilitated, taught, and created small groups since 1991 in such topics as:

• The Power of the Enneagram
• The Conscious Creation Class
• The Conscious Communication Class
• Recovering from Co-dependency
• Conflict Resolution
• Building Community
• The Art of Self-Care

I have been a resident of Bozeman, Montana since 1983.  My life partner, Jerry Fries, and I enjoy camping, canoeing, hiking, biking, dancing, traveling, movies, reading and learning. I have three adult children.
