 I am a licensed clinical psychologist working in the Northgate neighborhood of Seattle. I specialize in the mother-child relationship and in adjustment issues in the first five years of life. I received my clinical psychology master’s and doctoral degrees at Fuller Graduate School of Psychology Pasadena, California. I have extensive postdoctoral training in child trauma recovery and family therapy. In 2003 I completed a year-long training program in infant mental health through the Cedars Sinai Hospital Interdisciplinary Training Institute.
I have 15 years of experience serving mothers, their children, and families in a variety of settings, including community mental health, school-based milieu treatment, and in-home treatment. In June 2009 I completed the two-year professional training program at the North Pacific Institute for Analytical Psychology studying the work and theory of Carl Jung. Currently I am participating in Infant Observation at The Center for Object Relations Northwest Family Development Center.
