I am certified in Gestalt therapy and Neurolinguistic Programming. I have lectured on many topics related to careers at Naropa University and the University of Colorado, been interviewed on television and radio and in newspapers, as well as written columns for the Business Plus section of the Boulder Daily Camera.
