Professional Background

I am a private practice Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State, United States.

My academic training in domestic violence and the broader topic of partner abuse is from my university education while studying for a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and Minor in Women’s Studies at the University of Washington, and a Master’s Degree in Counseling at Antioch University, Seattle, Washington. More recent study has been through reading such sources as the journal Partner Abuse: New Directions in Research, Intervention, and Policy, and the work of Amy Baker, Phillip Cook, Roy Sheppard, and Mary Cleary among others.

I have practical experience helping individual men and women and also couples deal with partner abuse in scenarios where a man is the source of partner abuse, a woman is the source of abuse, and also situations with mutual abuse.

I have written and published the book, Abuse OF Men BY Women: It Happens, It Hurts, And It’s Time to Get Real About It.
