What a wonderful experience to speak to over 1000 people at Macky Auditorium at CU Boulder. Watch my TEDxCU talk here. I speak to the long-term impact of how we treat children and each other. Sanctioned “mini traumas” are happening everyday. Let’s change that!

Let's work together
Are you feeling anxious, stressed, overwhelmed, depressed, hopeless, helpless, or sad? Are you grieving the loss of someone you love? Are you a parent overwhelmed with tasks and responsibilities? I’d be honored to help you walk through the challenges you are facing.
After 40+ years of working in child development, parent education and psychology I have created a unique heart-centered approach called Authenticity Architects. I work with individuals, couples, and families using many different tools and techniques that help you excavate your authentic self.
Do you want to find more ease, joy, hope, contentment, compassion, tenacity, vitality, and connection in your everyday life? Authenticity Architects can help you create a life made by heart. You are enough!

I launched The Inner Space Project Podcast in May of 2024. My intention is to encourage mental heath awareness and emotional literacy. We have a long way to go in our understanding of all the parts inside of us, including the ones that seem dark and mysterious. In a time where we are exploring Outer Space, I highly recommend and support exploring Inner Space.

Both Letters to Freedom & Shame-Informed Therapy are now available on Audio
Letters to Freedom: From Fear to Love to Grace is a powerful story of love, loss and grace. I recorded it on audio so you could more easily listen to my voice and find comfort and healing.
Shame-Informed Therapy: Treatment Strategies to Overcome Core Shame and Reconstruct the Authentic Self was recently recorded on audio by Echo Point Audio Publishing. Now this workbook for therapists is easy to listen to when in the car and working.
You can buy them from the links for my books below.
