I am a native Southern Californian, raised in this community and now working and residing in Orange County. We have 29 year old boy-girl twins; my son is an Assistant District Attorney and is married to a beautiful Nurse Practitioner specialized in Women's Health. They have a sweet baby girl (our first grandchild). My daughter is Social Worker and is in charge of a Wellness Center at a Long Beach
High School. Our youngest son is 24, engaged to be married this next year, and a PhD student at USC studying Bio Chem. I am super proud of all of them! My husband and I love to travel and spend time out on our boat. I enjoy sunny days and the ocean, creating anything photography/art-wise and hanging-out with my family. Last year I completed my doctorate in art therapy, adding to the wealth of personal experience and insight that I bring to my work. My experience as a former high school teacher, graphic designer, art therapist, wife of a police officer and mother of 3 busy adults has uniquely equipped me to connect with people across different populations. I have vast experience working with a wide variety of populations and therapeutic techniques. I am constantly learning new tools and techniques to continually grow as a therapist an d to bring new and creative approaches to my work with my patients.
