I am a Clinical Mental Health Therapist, Custody Evaluator, and Parent Coordinator in private practice in Central Oregon with over 10 years of experience in custody dispute and parenting time issues. I specialize in co-parenting, parental alienation, parenting estrangement, and parent-child relationship issues. I also work with teens on addiction issues, social barriers, self-harm behaviors, anxiety, and depression.
I began my career in the mid-1990s at Boise State University with an undergraduate studies in Health Information Management, later at University of Oregon in General Science, and earning a second degree from George Fox University in Social and Behavioral Studies (conducting research in Parental Alienation).
I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Oregon State University. My focus is on child development, family dynamics, and addiction disorders.
I strive for honesty, open and non-judgmental communication, humor, goal-oriented, and respectful relationships with all my clients.
