Abstract
Lisa was born in 1958 in Burlingame, California and grew up in a counter-culture home environment in Northern California. She moved to Eugene in 1977, finding it to be a lesbian haven. She joined Mother Kali’s Books Collective. Through the CETA Program (Comprehensive Employment and Training Act), she learned carpentry. In 1983 she studied massage therapy. Eventually, she received a master’s degree in counseling psychology and became a counselor. In addition to her counseling work, Lisa currently works as a career and life coach. She also taught at Lane Community College. She lived in Colombia in 2001-2001 and discusses her experiences there.
