"I use an integrative approach to therapy which refers to the infusion of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects within a person, as well as the combination of various theories and intervention strategies to better address the person's individuality. Integrative counseling aims to promote healing and facilitates wholeness - ensuring that all levels of a person's being and functioning are maximized to their full potential."

"One of my greatest passions is helping couples in intercultural relationships/marriages. I speak English, Mandarin, and Taiwanese. I've been in practice for over 16 years. I use primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dr. John Gottman's research methods to help individuals, couples and families who struggle with communication, intimacy, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, anger management problems, bipolar disorder, ADD/ADHD, grief/bereavement Issues, acculturation problems (difficulties adjusting to American mainstream culture), recovery Issues (codependency, alcoholism, food addiction, substance abuse, issues relating to family of origin, etc.), and difficulty with life transitions/changes."

"I have been working with children and their families for over 20 years, licensed eight years. I enjoy working with children of all ages; that is children ages 6-18 and anyone else who has had difficulty in their childhoods and is having trouble in their relationships today and anyone else which insurance refers. Basically You talk, I listen, Insurance pays ( well most of the time they do!!) I have a GREAT sense of humor and use it often."

"Can heartbreak be cured? If so, how long will it take? Must it hurt so much? Is therapy going to help? Sadly, a broken heart cannot be cured; as with the loss of any beloved, grieving is unavoidable. But yes, a therapist helps by journeying alongside you, listening, offering comfort and wisdom gained from years of helping others regain their footing and with time, trust in love again. Why not you?"

"Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to sort through your mind in the presence of someone trained to help make "order out of chaos." I am a clinical psychologist licensed to practice in the state of California with more than 10 years experience treating adults. Areas of difficulty for which I provide help include: relationships, parenting, spirituality, aging, divorce, depression, anxiety, and trauma."

"Do you find the relationships in your life lacking connection? Relationships can make life worth living or they can make your life difficult. Whether it is a marriage that isn't going well, a parent/child relationship that never seems to work or you just seem to find yourself repeating past mistakes over and over again; sometimes we all need help in understanding how to move forward in new ways. I believe in the power of relationships to help heal us. I use an individualized approach to gain an understanding of how communication patterns, blocks and self-defeating behaviors began."

"Are you depressed or anxious? Overwhelmed? Is stress or anger interfering with your enjoyment of life? Are you experiencing difficulties in your relationship with your mate, partner or a family member? Have you lost someone or something that was important to you? Do you have problems with alcohol or drugs or suffer from overeating, smoking, gambling, addiction to internet pornography, overuse of video games, avoiding homework or compulsive shopping? Are you procrastinating about things, including making a career change or other major life decision? Or, do you just feel a little stuck and want more from your life?"

"I'm glad that you have taken a minute to look at my listing. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with offices in Corona and Irvine. I began practicing in 1982, first as an Intern and fully licensed (LMFT 19383) since July 1984. My emphasis is on marital and family issues, plus I have a special interest and extensive experience with High Functioning Autism / Asperger's Disorder. I have often found that when we make the relationship our primary focus, the relationship often gets worse. When each of us focuses on becoming who we were designed to be, often the relationship gets better."

"In my work with clients who are struggling with fertility I find that stress compounds over time. As time passes and procedures get more invasive, the stress, hopelessness and worry can become overwhelming. The more out of control people feel, the more they reach for something to fix it. I work with my clients with hypnosis, the practice of mindfulness and with support to help them to feel better."

"My practice emphasizes on helping clients resolve immediate situations, while healing from difficult life experiences and developing strong personal and intimate relationships. I believe successful relationships are the key to having a healthy and rewarding life. The process of psychotherapy can strengthen one's sense of confidence, self-acceptance, and responsibility in daily life. It can also lead to a greater capacity for intimacy, to a more productive use of innate skills, and to experiencing more meaning and pleasure in life."

"Discovering that your partner has had an affair is a life altering experience. Your feel that your partner is not who you thought they were, your relationship is not what you thought it was; in essence your whole world has been turned upside down. Learning of a partner's affair often leads us to "rethink" our whole lives.This crisis can serve as a stimulus for stepping back and taking stock of your life, carefully considering the kind of future you want to have with or without your partner."

"Depression can feel crippling, making you feel profoundly discouraged, helpless, and hopeless. Anxiety often coincides, adding stress, agitation, and sometimes physical symptoms. I can help you work thorough these feelings by helping you identify and process the thought patterns that have led you there. You will learn relaxation techniques to help with your anxiety. Through the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we will work towards changing the thought and behavior patterns that add to your distress. In a warm and comfortable environment, I will join you by listening carefully to your concerns, and helping you work through them."

"Feeling stuck in a rut? Do you wonder... "What happened to our connection? When did we start to live like roommates? What happened to our passion? Perhaps the pressure of work and life that has taken its toll. Perhaps the kids (as wonderful as they are) have taken up all of your time and energy. Perhaps it is a combination of the above, along with other tough life circumstances. Together we can work though these issues, and discover what is really going on...what led you to this rut and how to work your way out of it."

"Depression is a monster. In the majority of cases, anxiety co-exists with depression making it even more debilitating for the individual. While there may be similarities in stories, each person's experience is very unique. That is why it is critical to work with the uniqueness of each person's experience to create the desired outcome of having joy and peace again in life. I've worked with people from a variety of employment settings who initially found it difficult to come to therapy but were so thankful that they did. I've seen lives completely turn around. Positive Change can occur. NEVER give up."
