| License • Education • Experience Credentials |
License: I am a Licensed Psychologist Associate. I am authorized to provide a full range of psychological services
including psychological testing. Although I do not conduct formal psychological assessments for courts or any
governmental third parties, in Oregon, Licensed Psychologists and Licensed Psychologist Associates, because of
their training, are the only ones authorized to conduct these evaluations. Despite similar functions at times, Licensed
Psychologists and Licensed Psychologist Associates are the only professionals allowed by law to practice psychology.
I am licensed by the same governing board as Licensed Psychologists and have passed the same examinations. The
difference is that psychologists have doctoral degrees. Psychologist Associates have master's degrees. Inquiries
may be directed to the Oregon Board of Psychologist Examiners at 503-378-4154 and verification of my license may
be found at their website by clicking here. You may also view my status more directly by clicking this page on the
site.
Education: I received a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology in 1993 from Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas.
My Bachelor of Science degree was earned in 1985 from Kansas State University with majors in Psychology and in
Interdisciplinary Social Science. The latter emphasized Anthropology, Sociology, and Philosophy. I am a member of
Psi Chi and Phi Kappa Phi academic honor societies.
Experience: I first gained professional experience in the field of psychology as a volunteer at a suicide crisis line in
1979. I later took on the position of Coordinator of Services with the same organization. Since that time, I have
worked in a variety of settings with a variety of people. I worked for 6 years with the seriously mentally ill at Topeka
State Hospital. I have worked with adults and adolescents, elderly and medically needy persons, victims and
perpetrators of abuse and neglect, people in the criminal justice system, and with the developmentally disabled. I
have lived in Oregon since 1995 and from 1997 to 2003 was employed in Portland as an outpatient therapist with
Tualatin Valley Centers Mental Health and Addiction Services (now called LifeWorks NW). Although I presently
maintain a general private practice, I have developed a specialty in the treatment of personality disorders and
Dissociative Identity Disorder and offer consultation to other therapists providing treatment for those with these
disorders. I have provided clinical supervision to graduate students and other mental health professionals, taught
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and am presently interested in the pursuit of legal and ethical matters related
to practice of psychology and clients' rights. Toward these legal and ethical matters, I have been active in the
development of new Oregon statutes and rules which govern the practice of psychology in the state.
Professional Affiliations: The following are organizations in which I presently maintain active membership or
affiliation: Psychologists for Social Responsibility, The International Society of Political Psychology, The American
Mental Health Alliance (former member of the board of directors), The Oregon Psychotherapists' Guild (former
member of the board of directors), The Oregon Coalition for Consumer Protection & Choice in Mental Health, The
Association of Oregon Licensed Psychologist Associates (founder).
Former Professional Affiliations: The American Psychological Association, The Oregon Office of the Long-Term
Care Ombudsman (supervisor).
Continuing Education: On a regular basis, I take clinically relevant and board approved courses in psychology to
keep me up to date. The Oregon Board of Psychologist Examiners requires at least 50 continuing education credits
every 2 years.
