As a graduate of Portland State University, College of Counselor Education, in the Marriage, Couples, and Family Therapy (MCFC) focus track, and as a parent, a step-parent, and an adoptive parent, her education and experience focus on child centered play therapy, Child Parent Relationship Therapy, child development, identity development, attachment theory, emotion-focused therapy, and somatic and narrative techniques.
