"Thank you for a fantastic workshop! I was amazed and impressed by the high level of engagement and interactivity of the whole training. The participants were deeply connected with the training and thus found how applicable NVC is to their lives. Your command of the material and ability to respond to and elaborate on questions and concerns was extraordinary. I personally benefited greatly from my participation."

Sue Ann Allen, Training Director, Dispute Resolution of Center of King County

Nonviolent Communication

These courses teach Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and related topics. NVC is a practical and learnable process for communicating with empathy, honesty, confidence and compassion. Nonviolent Communication (NVC) supports creating a quality of connection with oneself and others in which everyone's needs are equally valued. This allows people to create strategies and meaningful solutions that resolve issues and deepen relationships in all aspects of life.

2014 Schedule

After much soul searching, for health and personal reasons I have come to the heartfelt conclusion to take a Sabbatical from teaching my regular Nonviolent Communication Level I, Level II and Mastering the Art of NVC classes in 2014.

In addition to healing from two car accidents last summer, I am focusing on my private practice and pursuing certification as a Hakomi therapist.

I am available by invitation for on-site NVC trainings for businesses, organizations, schools and other non-profit or for-profit groups if you or someone you know is interested. I am available for family or small group NVC training, too- please contact me to set something up.

As one of only two Seattle-based CNVC certified NVC trainers who is also a therapist, I offer a unique approach to psychotherapy, and will continue to incorporate NVC skills in my private practice therapy sessions.

Thank you for your continuing support.
