She received her BA in Psychology from Whitworth College; her Master of Arts in Theology and Marriage and Family from Fuller Theological Seminary; and her M.Div. and D.Min. from San Francisco Theological Seminary. She finds that the best education at times comes from attending to one’s life journey.
