I’m a seasoned lawyer with knowledge and expertise in interpersonal violence, child sexual assault, driving under the influence, and substance abuse cases. In criminal law, I worked in both prosecution and defense and my family experience includes the dependency court. Twenty years into a flourishing career as a lawyer, and after experiencing life with some of its challenges, I expanded my career/horizon. I decided to go back to school to include social work in my portfolio of expertise so I could be the professional at the intersection of law and mental health. Qualified as a therapist, integrating my professional legal expertise and personal life experience, I provide direct therapeutic services to individuals and groups, from the perspective of both a lawyer and a therapist. I have acquired clinical skills to work with families in conflict, provide co-parenting therapy and custody evaluations, and helping people improve their quality of life and facilitate change through psychotherapy.My philosophy is that life’s conflicts, issues, and problems can be addressed utilizing personal growth and therapy on a micro level, law and advocacy on a mezzo level, and the media on a macro level.
Listed skills include Legal Issues, Family Law, Mediation, Social Media, and 46 others.
