When talking to a good friend is no longer enough - turn
to over 30 years of experience and expertise.
I have offered solution focused counseling to
individuals, couples and families for over three decades. I
am a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of UCLA in the area of
Psychology, and earned my Masters from Cal Berkeley in
Psychiatric Social Work. Through my career in mental health,
I have worked as a clinician, consultant and Program
Director in medical and psychiatric outpatient and inpatient
settings. I have also had the privilege of providing
supervision to medical residents going through psychiatric
rotations. In addition, I have provided supervision to those
professionals needing hours for state licensure. I have done
volunteer work in the Laguna Beach Free Clinic and provided
pro bono services over the years to various organizations,
while maintaining a private practice for over 30 years. I
have been involved in the area of Divorce Mediation for 25
years, and more recently entered the field of Collaborative
Divorce Coaching. Throughout my career, my goal for those I
have worked with remains constant: creating the possibility
for change within a safe environment that inspires personal
growth and clarity
I have been a resident of the Irvine/Newport Beach area
for nearly 35 years, while remaining an active participant
in community affairs and raising a family. I am proud to say
that I have been happily married for over 37 years and am
the mother of two grown children, both of whom are enjoying
their own successes in their careers and marriages. I can
fully appreciate the challenges and rewards of maintaining
these family relationships while nurturing and enriching my
own personal life.
