I have worked as a family therapist, social worker, and program facilitator for over 10 years in various roles in both Washington and New York. I also serve as an affiliate faculty member for Trinity Lutheran College where I teach courses in Adolescent Development, Family Systems and Counseling Skills.

My experience includes:

• Children's Hospital of New York Presbyterian: Social worker serving children and families facing long-term illness and trauma
• Collaborative HIV Prevention and Adolescent Mental Health Project in New York: Program facilitator
• Kindering (neurodevelopmental center) in Bellevue, WA: Family therapist serving children with special needs

Education/credentials:

• Master of Social Work, Columbia University, New York, NY
• Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, Washington State
• Current student of Sundust Oracle Institute, Seattle, WA

In addition, I am the mother of two wonderful boys, who continue to teach me much about life that cannot be learned in a classroom.
