Kathleen Moreau was born in Canton, Ohio and completed her undergraduate degree at Malone College. She majored in psychology and was actively involved in the theater program.

In 1975 she and her husband, Roger Carlson, moved to Pasadena, California.. She completed her graduate studies in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling at Azusa Pacific University in collaboration with the California Family Study Center in Burbank, California. During this time she also received additional training in substance abuse counseling while working at Pasadena Community Hospital.

After moving to Northwest Ohio in 1980, she worked in the community mental health system, and then established a private practice in Montpelier, Ohio. From 1984 to 1994 she worked with a wide variety of clientele, including individuals, couples, families, and children.

She was actively involved in treating survivors of abuse and domestic violence, and helped establish group support programs for this population. She also led Family Reconstruction groups and continued work with those recovering from addictions.

Her interest in dream work and the deeper psychological work required in midlife adjustments led her, in 1995, to the C. G. Jung Institute - Zurich, Switzerland. There, she completed requirements for the Diploma in Analytical Psychology, graduating in July 2001.

While residing in Zurich, she worked with individual analysands, learned Jungian approaches to Sandplay, completed a rotation in psychopathology while working with clients in Dublin, Ireland, and expanded her capabilities in group approaches to psychological change.

Her thesis, accepted in 2001, was "THE OLD WAYS ARE LOST: A LONG NIGHT’S JOURNEY INTO LIGHT". Using the music of Lorenna McKennitt, her thesis describes the individuation process of a woman, addresses the re-emergence of the feminine principle and, acknowledges the healing power of images.

Since 2000, she has continued to work with clients at her offices in Bryan, Ohio and Fort Wayne, Indiana.

As part of the examination process in Zurich, Kathleen prepared material addressing:

• links between the analytical process, The Ten Oxherding Pictures of Buddhist Teaching, and the Quaker religious experience of silence;
   
• links between the analytical process, Navaho Blessingway, and Sand Paintings;
   
• links between the analytical process, Celtic Mythology, and its similarity to Rites of Passage or Initiation;
   
• psychological dimensions of the character of Eowyn in The Lord of The Rings.
