Work Experience

I have been in private practice since 1996. In addition to providing therapy services, I consult with physicians and lawyers, helping them better understand how mental health issues may be affecting their patients/clients.

Iam an adjunct professor at Argosy University in Seattle, WA..

I have also given lectures on a variety of topics to many different classes at Argosy and several regional organizations. Because I enjoy training others in psychotherapy, I provide supervision and consultation for other therapists.

Prior to opening my own office, I worked for Luther Child Center (now Compass Health), providing intensive day treatment therapy services for severely abused and neglected children and their families. In my training I have also worked at McNiel Island Correctional Center, The Everett Clinic Behavioral Health Center, and Swedish Family Medicine.
