In the 1990s, she made a career change, returned to graduate school, and completed her Ph.D. in psychology. Her doctorate and her dissertation are steeped in the traditions of Maslow, May, Rogers, and systems psychology, which also provided the foundations of many NLP presuppositions.
In her private practice, Judith has assisted individuals to reframe and reverse obstructing thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, refocusing their energy and commitment on what is important and compelling to them in life. She has found that the powerful NLP processes and teachable skills are simply the most useful tools to facilitate change in our behavior, emotions, beliefs, and self-esteem. As a therapist in traditional settings, Judith worked with clients with a history of trauma and also individuals and families affected by addictions. Judith currently serves as a Board member for an inpatient addictions program. She is licensed as a professional counselor in three states, and nationally licensed in treatment for compulsive behaviors.
As a trainer, Judith weaves her many interests and skills to craft a learning environment that meets the needs of both business people and helping professions. She loves laughter, stories, and seeing students integrate and utilize powerful NLP skills. She has shared NLP in clinical trainings, medical clinics, and for NLP Pacific.
One of Judith's lifelong passions is yoga. She has practiced for 30 years, taught for over 20 years, and taught yoga teacher trainings for the last 10 years. She is currently teaching in a teacher training for Harmony Yoga. As a child, Judith's severe lung problems brought her close to death many times. She is fully recovered, and she attributes her breath, strength, and high energy to her yoga practice.
Judith has been married for 29 years, and she and her husband love to travel, play, and work together. They value their friends, their wide-flung family - from Australia to India to Canada - and their life in the beautiful Northwest.
