About

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with nearly 30 years of experience in a variety of behavioral health settings. Throughout my career, I have worked in hospital emergency departments, inpatient psychiatric units, outpatient mental health, integrated primary care, and crisis services. These experiences have given me a strong clinical foundation and the ability to work effectively with diverse populations in both acute and outpatient settings.

I lived in the Seattle area for 18 years before relocating to Reno, Nevada, about two and a half years ago. I am now looking to relocate back to Washington, specifically the Vancouver area, and I'm excited to find an opportunity where I can contribute my experience, collaborate with a strong team, and continue providing high-quality care to the communities I serve.
