I have Masters degrees in Social Work and Counseling. I received my Masters in Social Work (MSW) from the University of Washington in 1979 and my Masters in Counseling (M.Ed.) from the University of Puget sound in 1992. The State of Washington has recognized me with Licenses/Certificates in Marriage and Family Therapy, Social Work, Mental Health, and Chemical Dependency treatment (CCDC-1).
