I'm a strong advocate for emotional well-being. Experiencing emotions is as natural as feeling hunger, and facing emotional challenges, as common as experiencing appetite. Engaging in therapy to process emotions is essential, much like regular doctor visits, whether for a check-up, addressing initial symptoms, or seeking help when issues have already affected life functioning. I'm the author of How Deep Is the Wound?, winner of the 2025 Foreword Indies in Self-Help and of Traumatization and Its Aftermath, winner of 2023 Best Books Award and 2024 American Legacy Book Awards in Psychology/Mental Health
I am well-informed about the latest advancements in neuroscience, particularly in relation to trauma, anger, depression, impulsivity, sexual concerns, and a wide range of emotional challenges. With neuroscience bridging the gap between brain and mind, I am dedicated to embracing this paradigm shift in our understanding of mental health.
I've learned about people by living in different countries/cultures, practicing more than one religion & profession. As a banker/consultant, I helped people grow their wealth. As a therapist, I work on how to get a better/happy life-regardless of experiences or circumstances-to create emotional wealth.
