Professional History

     

       For more than 35 years, Dr. Sterling has been licensed in the State of California as a Marriage and Family Therapist. She also holds a Ph.D. in psychology. Since first licensed, she has maintained her private practice in the same office in Newport Beach, California. Working with individuals, couples, and families committed to living more substantive and meaningful lives, has been her life's work. Generally speaking, the people with whom she works desire or discover they desire, lives that include a peaceful sense of self, life-enhancing human relationships, greater compassion, understanding and acceptance of themselves and others. Providing tools to create fulfilling lives is central to her approach. Deeply listening makes it possible for her to do so.
