WA State Licensed Mental Health Counselor

MA Psychology 1985- Antioch University, Seattle

Private practice in Bellingham since 1998

Because my professional training is in child and family therapy, an awareness of the evolving legacy we carry forward from our families is woven through my work, whether with individuals, couples or children.

I have over 15 years experience assisting people with relationships, trauma and loss, depression, anxiety, blocks to creativity and self-expression. My work with children and families includes extensive experience with divorce, parenting training, behavioral and emotional concerns, and abuse.

From 2000 through 2004, I provided psychosocial assessments for children in long term foster care through the Foster Care Assessment Program, a statewide program that provides consultation to WA State Children's Administration social workers. I contract with Brigid Collins to provide treatment for children who have been sexually abused.

I received training in Seemorg Matrix Energy Psychotherapy from Asha Clinton, MA, PhD in 2001. This is part of a promising, innovative modality of therapy that is developing out of applied kinesiology and acupressure. It assists in clearing trauma and negative beliefs directly from the energy system, greatly facilitating the healing process.

I have been actively involved in spiritual practice and retreat for 25 years, and have a great love for, and experience with, the role of nature in spiritual practice. This informs my work, whether or not spiritual and religious beliefs are directly part of treatment. I appreciate the vast diversity of religious/ spiritual practices, and rich cultural heritage, found in this community. I am always seeking to deepen my understanding. I am a mother, a gardener, and a lover of music.
