About Eve

For more than two decades, Eve has worked tirelessly with families and individuals dealing with severe substance use disorders and other mental health issues. She has provided steady guidance and direction as her clients and their surrogates have navigated the complex maze of available resources and treatment. As a clinician, administrator, and industry leader, Eve’s purpose has always been to seek to make a difference in the lives of those suffering from this constellation of diseases. Most of all, though, Eve cherishes sharing what she knows with her colleagues and continuously learning from the world around her.

Eve’s transition to a career in this arena was informed by her own personal journey into recovery from alcoholism and disordered eating. Prior to her sobriety, Eve enjoyed a productive and notable career as a biomedical research librarian including serving as a Fellow at the National Library of Medicine at NIH and Director of Library and Internet Services at the esteemed Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. Her commitment to research and evidence-based practices was honed through this work and remains foremost in her heart and mind today.

A New Yorker, by birth and “heart,” Eve resides in Seattle, where her restorative down time is happily distributed between family (especially her beloved grandson) and friends and across a wide variety of activities. Eve loves the mountains and trails of the Pacific Northwest, knitting, and all things baseball.
