About Jann

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 Psychology, and earned my Masters from Cal Berkeley in Psychiatric Social Work. During my career in mental health, I have worked as a clinician, consultant and Program director, and have supervised medical residents going through psychiatric rotations.

I have also taught classes at UCI extension in Psychology, interpersonal relationships and communication skills. I have been involved in the area of Divorce Mediation for 30 years and in the field of Collaborative Divorce Coaching for the past decade. 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 over 35 years, while remaining an active participant in community affairs and raising a family. I am proud to say that I am happily married and the mother of two grown children, both of whom are enjoying their own successes in their careers and marriages
