Credentials

I received a Master's Degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Washington in 1992. My B.A. is from the University of California, Los Angeles (1983).

I completed the Certificate Program in Clinical Therapy and Practice in May of 2002, and am licensed as a Clinical Social Worker, Washington State License No. LW00005412.

Prior to starting a private practice in 1996, my experience included working at community mental health centers, the Evergreen Hospital emergency room, and Fairfax Psychiatric Hospital.

Specific strategies I may use to address a given problem will vary, but are likely to include elements of Psychodynamic Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. Work can either be short-term or long-term, depending upon the nature of the problem.

In order to grow professionally, I regularly attend continuing education trainings, participate in supervision and peer consultation, read, and work on my personal growth. I participated in the Children's Hospital Dialectical Behavior Therapy Community Consultation Team from 2003-2007. I am currently a member of the Washington State Society for Clinical Social Work.
