As a therapist, I draw not only
on my education, but also on my life experience.
I believe that people are complex. My
varied background and life experience helps me
work with a variety of personalities and issues.
I earned my Bachelor Degree in Computer Science,
and my Masters
Degree in Applied Behavioral Science with a focus
on Systems Counseling. I am a Licensed
Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of
Washington. The aspects of my background
that I draw on the most are my multi-cultural
background, my professional work experience, and
my personal experience as a daughter, wife, and
mother.
My growing up years spanned
four different countries. My work
experience, prior to becoming a therapist,
includes thirteen years in high-tech,
five of which were in management in corporate America.
In addition I have facilitated adult education classes,
volunteered as a coach with personal growth organizations,
and have been a certified image consultant.
I continue to educate myself both
formally and informally.
