Working as a nurse and mother for more than two decades, the “empty nest” invited an examination of new goals and renewed purpose, as my youngest “child” left for college. I returned to graduate school to pursue a career in counseling inspired by a curiosity for family dynamics, parenting styles, personal narratives and people of all kinds. With the opportunities and experiences of my own life story, I wondered if I might be able to make a difference in the lives of others by sharing in their stories and life journeys. I knew the privilege it was to enter into the unexamined, the vulnerable, the sacred and the creative places of another’s life and I wanted to offer hope and healing to those interested in knowing themselves better or expanding their world view.
