Education & Experience

I have been the Behavioral Health Manager for the past 3.5 years at the Tillamook County Community Health Centers. I have over 20 years of experience in the social work field, this includes working with people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities for 15 of those years. In the past 8 years I have worked in community mental health as a clinician working directly with clients who experience mental health issues and substance use disorders, and most recently in an integrated primary care setting. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology and health from Eastern Oregon University, a Master of Social Work degree from Portland State University, and most recently I earned my Doctor of Behavioral Health degree with a focus in management from Arizona State University in 2022.
