I am a workplace psychologist. My business mission is to “Discover the Wonder of People at Work™.” My consulting work includes several key areas: executive/life coaching, expressive arts-based learning, leadership development, mindfulness, and team building. I have found that work becomes more meaningful when creativity is nurtured in the workplace through the expression of a person’s unique gifts, talents, and perspectives.

Creativity is at the heart of my work. I believe that every person has a creative, unique spirit, and that creative energy is a vehicle for growth. I my dissertation, The Perceived Effects of Person-Centered Expressive Arts on One’s Work, I wrote, “Work can be a sacred place where people are giving birth to their deepest passions and creative spirit.”

I serve as the Creativity Studies Lead Faculty in the School of Psychology and Interdisciplinary studies at Saybrook University. My reason for teaching is to support life-long learners who are on a personal quest to create change in their life and in their part of the world.

I also completed my doctorate in psychology and a two-year Person-Centered Expressive Arts certificate program as well as the Creativity Studies certificate. I teach courses in Coaching, Creativity, Expressive Arts, Leadership, Humanistic Psychology, and MBM Professional Development. I have received certifications in coaching and am a Registered Expressive Arts Consultant/Educator (REACE). I have conducted qualitative and heuristic research on the effects of expressive arts and art journaling. I am certified in REACE, Coaching (ICF through Lee Hecht Harrison), MBTI, HOGAN, Dimensional management training, Dismantling Racism-NCCJ, International Association of Quality Circles, and Leadership Effectiveness Analysis 360 Feedback.
