I provide home studies for step-parent, second parent, relative adoptions, and home study updates. I opened my practice with the goal of offering reasonable fees as well as the timely handling of the adoption process and adoption paperwork. I will provide comprehensive and flexible services to meet your needs through each step of the adoption process. My clients enjoy personal service, education about adoption issues, post-adoption supervision, counseling, and support. I also provide assistance with networking and referral. Same sex, transgender, and non-binary couples are welcome and encouraged to apply.
I have over three decades of adoption and child welfare experience. I have an undergraduate degree in Sociology from the University of California at Santa Cruz and a Master’s degree in Social Work from San Francisco State University. I completed the Certificate Program in Foster Care and Adoption sponsored by Northwest Adoption Exchange in 2005. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) (License No: LW 00006741) in Washington State and hold certification as an Advanced Social Work Case Manager (C-ASWCM) by the National Association of Social Workers.
