About

Hi there! I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Oregon for over 20 years. My background has provided me with a wealth of diverse experiences. I have worked in medical social work, including many years as a hospice social worker. I also have had a private practice in which I specialized in working with people who had either had weight loss surgery, or were contemplating it. In addition to these areas, I am also a tenured college instructor teaching in human services and gerontology.

I am passionate about helping people reach their goals. My approach is very collaborative--it is important that we work together to achieve the best possible outcomes. I may know a lot about counseling techniques and what helps people in general, but YOU are the expert in your own life. I am confident that we can work together to create successful outcomes.
