Credentials:

You are invited to review my professional Credentials. I have over 20 years experience working as a Clinical Social Worker in child welfare. I am licensed to practice psychotherapy in the state of California with the Board of Behavioral Sciences.

Over the years, I have been passionate about keeping children connected to and in their families in multiple settings, including residential treatment, group homes, foster care, adoption, out-patient clinics, and private practice. I have focused my training and experience on building strong family identities and healthy family cultures.

Certifications and Affiliations:

  • 2018-SENG certified provider (Supporting the Emotional Needs of the Gifted).
  • 1992-Member NASW (National Association of Social Workers).
  • 1994-Diplomate in Clinical Social Work (DCSW).

Relevant Professional Trainings:

This list of Relevant Professional Trainings highlights the conferences and seminars that reflect the passion I have for my work with children and families. I have a subspecialty in Post-Adoption Family Therapy and I am a certified Parent Support Group Facilitator and certified professional provider for SENG. I practice from a Family Trauma Therapy perspective.

The seminars listed below are just a small sample of the ones I have completed. A full accounting would be too numerous to list here.
