A native Californian, I have lived in Orange County for the past 26 years.
Early in my working life, I was a lawyer. In the late 80's, I transitioned from law into the retail business and then served in various executive capacities for two highly successful, nationwide clothing companies. I retired from the retail business in 2001 and, in 2003, returned to graduate school to pursue my passion for psychology and a new career as a Marriage and Family Therapist.
I believe that I'm more uniquely qualified to help people in need of counseling services than some other therapists, because I've personally experienced many of life's challenges, myself, and have grown or changed as a result of my own counseling experiences. As a client, I like knowing that I'm sitting across the room from someone who has done their "own work" and I would expect that is an important consideration for you as well.
