Hello: In the past, about 10 years ago, I perticipated in a very intensive Meyers-Briggs type testing program. At that time I was scored as an INTJ. Taking the Jungian typology questionnaire on the website that refeered me to this group, I scored as an INFJ. This does seem to fit me much better. I am a psychotherapist by profession, and many of the charactersitics of this type resonate with me strongly. This seems to be a much better fit for my "oddities" than the INTJ designation. I appreciated learning about this type at this time. It has helped me to better understand some of the behaviors that I tend to engage in on a consistent basis. So thanks to the folks who devloped this questionnire. I'd like to find out more about what life is like for this type.
I engaged in a Master's education in Social Work, with a focus on community organizing and empowerment at a California state University. I've done post graduate study in aging, death and dying, addiction, (both substance and process). I've trained in using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, as well as Psychosynthesis. I have a wholistic approach to working with my clients, and I believe very much in the life cycle task view of human development, as was set forth by Eric Erickson. He is one of my heros. As are; Karl Jung, Elizabeth Kubler Ross, Alice Miller, and several other humanistic psychology pioneers.
My hobby interests are craft arts such a crochet, knitting, paper crafting. I am a dog lover, and love most animals. I am an avid reader. I read both fiction, (especially mysteries), and non-fiction, (books and periodicals in my career field), biographies, histories.
I like to take long walks at the beach, in the forrest, or by lakes. Though not a big fan of swimming, I love to be around water.

- Biography
- I was born in California, and have remained a resident of this state. Where else would I want to live? Traveling and visiting other places, near and far is great, but I love living in California. I have a Masters degree in Social Work, and after many years of practicing, I made the decision that I did want to get the LCSW license. During my early practice years, I wanted to change whole systems rather that work on individual change, so I was a community organizer and activist. As I've aged, I've come to realize that change reslly does start with individuals, and as a matter of fact, it actually has to start with me, myself. When I was a child in grade school, I had a teacher who used to write an aphorism on the blackboard everyday. I don't remember what I learned of the subject content she was teaching, but I wrote down, and still remember most of the aphorisms, which somehow struck me as more meaningful. One of them was; "You can help others most by being happy and healthy yourself". Little did I realize how truely, profoundly that statement would become to my thinking later in life.
