Emotions and relationships are the core of what I do. Early on in my career, I worked in residential treatment for adolescents, helping them learn to manage their emotions and relate well with each other. Later I helped individuals and families dealing with chronic or terminal illness, and death-loss. These challenges have no easy answer or fix. It’s less about what to do, and more about how you do it–it’s about relating, mourning, and discovering how to move forward. My bachelor’s degree in psychology from Brigham Young University and my master’s degree in social work from the University of Washington gave me my start, and a voracious appetite for reading and learning through experience keeps me going.
