“In Private Mental Health Therapy Practice again, after transitioning from 27 years as a Therapist in Kaiser Permanente’s Mental Health department. While there, I was on the Regional Diversity Council for 10 years. I was also appointed by the Governor of Oregon to the Oregon Vocational Rehabilitation Services statewide board and also served on the executive committe. I currently provide individual and couples therapy, as well as consultation and training to Therapists, graduate students and I also work with businesses and organizations in an EAP capacity.

“In addition, I also give talks on diversity, disabilities, communication, and acquired and traumatic brain injury. I have an avid interest in the relationship between nature and psychology. I live in a forested area, west of Portland in the foothills of the coast Range and practice in Portland. I’m also excited about getting involved in the new AUS Portland Alumni Chapter which is just getting started.”
