My passion is dogs. I really do love them all. I've had dogs most of my life and hope to have at least one by my side always. If I could, I'd have a farm full of dogs. My lifestyle just doesn't allow for that, but I can always dream. Dog energy is the best!

I’m the author of two dog memoirs, "Charlie: A Love Story" and "Happy Harry: A Magical Golden", about two of my wonderful Golden Retrievers.

I’m a psychotherapist, a Marriage Family Therapist, and I specialize in relationships. I’ve been licensed for over thirty years, though actually I’ve been listening to and helping people (informally, of course) for a lot longer. For me, it’s a natural calling. I love what I do.

Besides my love of dogs, I'm an avid gardener and find myself gardening in much of my spare time. I've landscaped our property, which is on almost an acre. I see my garden as a work of art and love being in nature - the miracle of growth, the ever-changing landscape, its beauty.

I live in Malibu, California with my husband David, and now we happily and chaotically live with our two wonderful Golden Retrievers: Oliver and Henry!
