Joanne Dorpat Halverson
Born 50 years ago in Seattle. Grateful for my upbringing in part by my Parents and in part by the tall trees, mountains and the sea. As a youth received a marvelous education at several then small and intimate private schools, The Little School and The Overlake School.
After high school and a brief stint at art school. I used the rest of my college funds to buy five acres in the San Juan islands. I lived there with my first husband and our two daughters in our homemade cabin in the woods for ten years. It was in those years that I began my lifelong work with elders. I was a hospice volunteer and worked in a Day treatment program as an Aid in the Mental Health Agency.
After the sudden death of my husband my family and I moved back to Seattle and I went back to School at Seattle University attaining my Masters in Psychology in 1992. Soon after this I received certification as a Geriatric Mental Health Specialist and in dispute resolution. In my professional and private life I am most enthralled with understanding the process of how life's lead (sorrows and traumas, etc) can turn into gold. In my personal life I pursue artistic expression, spiritual studies/practice, time with loved ones, including four grandchildren, and a continuous love affair with nature.
