I have Masters degrees in Social Work and Counseling. I received my Masters in Social Work (MSW) from the University of Washington in 1979 and my Masters in Counseling (M.Ed.) from the University of Puget sound in 1992. The State of Washington has recognized me with Licenses/Certificates in Marriage and Family Therapy, Social Work, Mental Health, and Chemical Dependency treatment (CCDC-1). I am a Certified Social Worker (ACSW) and I also belong to the National Association of Social Workers. I have practicing Psychotherapy and Life Coaching for 37 years with the last 35 years in private practice. I have recently moved to Palm Springs where I plan to continue my work.
