MY background

 In 1983 I earned my B.A. degree in biology and secondary education from Otterbein College, a small liberal arts college in
central Ohio.  My teaching career was short-lived as I quickly discovered I was more drawn to counseling my troubled
high school students than teaching biology to a classroom of thirty students.  I returned to school and earned my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from Miami University of Ohio .  I worked as a staff psychologist at the Central Missouri State University Counseling Center from 1994 to 1996.  In 1997, I became a licensed psychologist in the state of Washington and for 18 years ran my private practice in Capitol Hill with colleagues at Associates In Behavioral Health.

In 2002 I became a parent.  
Parenting catapulted me onto an amazing
and challenging journey, and deepened my
understanding of human development and
​the parent-child attachment relationship.
