I am a true East Coast-West Coast hybrid. I spent my first fourteen years in Great Neck, N.Y. Then, in 1973, my family moved to Phoenix, Arizona. It was quite a culture shock for a girl from New York to move to a city where kids rode horses to school on dirt roads in Scottsdale! Of course, all that has changed now. Phoenix is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the country.

In 1980, I completed my undergraduate education at the University of Arizona in Tucson and came to California to begin my legal career at the University of San Diego, School of Law (J.D. 1983). I fell in love with San Diego and have been in practice here ever since. I am also licensed to practice law in Arizona.

In 1998, I got married and thought I would get pregnant in no time. But no time turned into a long time and in 2001, I sought medical treatment for infertility. With the help of a wonderful doctor and his staff, in April 2003, I became pregnant and gave birth to my son Griffin on December 30, 2003.

My experience with the IVF process did two things for me. First, and most importantly, it brought me the gift of motherhood to an incredible little boy. Second, it helped me realize that I wanted to dedicate my career to assisting others through this challenging, but hopefully rewarding process.

Within a year of giving birth, I left a full-time in-house litigation position to open my own office dedicated to assisted family formation. I will assist you in all necessary legal matters to complete the process of parenthood, and if you wish, I will also act as a liaison between you and any medical, legal or administrative office during the entire pregnancy and through the birth process.

I hope I can be of assistance to you as you embark upon this incredible journey.
