Biography

I have been a part of the PLU family since 2008, where I provide supervision to Master Degree students at the PLU Marriage and Family Therapy Clinic. Additionally, I have experience providing individual, marriage and family therapy in a private practice setting. I love my job as a therapist in a private practice setting because I get to help people find peace of mind using all of my education, job experience and personal experiences of life. In my spare time, I like to garden and I am a serious sports fan. My favorite sport is baseball. I currently live in Puyallup but I have also lived in Tacoma, Los Angeles, California and Boston, Massachusetts. I am a member of the WAMFT (Washington Association of Marriage and Family Therapy), and an AAMFT Approved Supervisor.
