Observing Virginia Satir demonstrating her natural, genuine, dynamic, and intuitive therapy techniques unlocked a door, and my future as a therapist evolved into a reality I loved to think about. My explorative path took me back to school for a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and then to Agnes Windram, who became my mentor. Satir’s family therapy model supports individuals and families who desire to make conscious refinements to their daily lives.  Rewriting the story that defines our self-perception, impacts the awareness of our feelings, and increases our comfort to communicate congruently – which helps us move on.  As a mother of biological and adoptive children with physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities, I am interested in working with individuals and families with disabilities.  I especially enjoy supporting parents who seek to teach their children honestly with loving respect, appreciating their uniqueness.  Exploring the childhood roles that shaped our perspective can open new awareness and possibilities for our families today.  I was drawn to Virginia Satir’s work by her desire to understand and reduce pain in family systems.  I’ve often thought of my life as a weaver’s loom and my varied experiences like threads of many colors and textures coming together and revealing all that is “me”. Some threads are golden, some dark, but all of them are vital elements in the tapestry of life. Each day I come to the loom with something new.  My time with Agnes Windram has illuminated my need to become more congruent in my living, nurture myself, and not ignore the consideration of my values.  It is a joy to learn how to facilitate transformative change through the art of therapy for those who desire it.
