About Me
I have been working with children and families for the past 30 years. I have a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Oregon, a Master’s degree in Social Work from Portland State University. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Oregon. My background is working with court involved families and families with open child protective cases. I have worked for years as a therapeutic parent trainer and enjoy supporting families.
I have an extensive volunteer background from coaching my children’s basketball teams to chairing the Eugene Human Rights Commission for many years. I am on the management team of the Oregon Country Fair and was a Chaplain for the local Unity of the Valley.
My husband and I have a blended and pro-neurodiverse family with 8 children between us and 13 grandchildren. I love the outdoors, kayaking, gardening, live theatre, movies, collecting mermaids, and chasing sunsets on the beautiful Oregon coast.
