Education and experience
I received a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Western Washington University and attained a Master’s degree in Social Work (MSW) from San Diego State University. I am currently licensed as an Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington state #LW00006262. I attained a Chemical Dependency Professional (CDP) license in the state of Illinois while I was living in Chicago. I am currently in the process of getting certified in Washington state. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and have specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I have a rich and varied background working in a variety of settings throughout the years which include; psychiatric hospitals, treatment centers (for mental health and substance abuse), schools and outpatient programs. I currently enjoy private practice supporting my clients towards their goals of healing and change.
When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my three daughters, husband of 35 years, my furry kids- dog Tucker and cat Snickers. I enjoy hanging out with friends and family, boating, waterskiing, travel, watching movies and reading.
