Profession(s)
Mental Health Professional, MediatorAs a psychotherapist in clinical practice, I have worked with divorcing couples and their children since 1982 and am one of the founding members of Collaborative Divorce Solutions Orange County. After seeing, first hand, the destruction caused by court centered divorce processes, I was attracted to Collaborative Divorce which is based on mutual respect and alleviating the current and future trauma common in divorce. I have extensive training in collaborative divorce, mediation, domestic violence, chemical dependency and trauma recovery and management of chronic pain. I have been an instructor for medical students preparing for national board exams at National Medical Review School and in Human Services at Saddleback College. Based on my training, skills and experience, I was recruited by Orange County Social Services Agency specifically to create and teach parenting classes for Adoptive and Foster Parents.
