Professional Background & Specialties

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~  

    I hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from Lewis & Clark College, and am also licensed as a 'Professional Counselor' (LPC). All licensed professional counselors in Oregon are governed by the state board (OBLPCT) and are required to meet the board's requirements to renew their licenses annually. I've been practicing since the year 2000 and work primarily with adult and young adult clients.

As a licensed clinician, I regularly participate in professional consultation groups and take continuing education courses (CEU's), in order to stay up-to-date and informed of evidence-based best practices.

        Additionally, I am a certified drug/alcohol counselor (CADC-I), and work with families and individuals with concerns about addiction and substance abuse. Other areas of specialized training include providing clinical supervision for state-registered interns who are working toward licensure, as well as working with adults with ADHD.
