Education Counts:

M.A. Clinical Psychology, John F. Kennedy University

B.A. Psychology, Chapman College

Education which augments my over 20 years experience in helping others work through their painful and difficult life problems or questions is a cornerstone of my philosophy. Thus I continually search for the best and most up-to-date information about interpersonal behavior and mental health to better serve you, my client.

As a result, I attend advanced training seminars regularly.

Community Commitment:

As a member of GSBA, and as as a past adjunct instructor at Antioch Seattle I live out my belief that healthy communities help us all stay healthy.

During my years as a therapist, I have worked in various public service agencies serving individuals, couples and families. My first experience, in 1976, was with Mothers' Emergency Stress Service, a 24-hour support agency which also included a safe house for women victimized by domestic violence. Since that time I have worked with children struggling with behavior and/or learning disabilities, their parents, individuals working through physical or sexual abuse issues, couples desiring to enhance their relationship and/or communicate with each other more fully, individuals struggling to change their violent behavior patterns, and with individuals and families whose lives are under siege by use of mind altering chemicals.

I began my private practice in 1991, offering my skills to individuals, couples and families who are looking to effect positive change in their lives.
