"Life often comes ups and downs. You may feel overwhelmed with the stress in life and unable to cope or to change. Sometimes when experiencing emotional struggles, it can be hard or lack of energy to seek help. Even if you have supports from families and friends, it can sometimes be difficult to talk with them about your deepest feelings. Taking the first step may feel daunting. But with the help of a trained professional who is completely independent of your circumstances can be benefical. I have 14 years' clinical experience in psychotherapy, offering long and brief therapy."

""Relationships and how we communicate are the two most important things in our lives." -- I am totally committed to improving communication and relationships. -- I believe communication is often more at the core of quality relationships than digging into our deep, dark, past issues. -- Research and years of my own experience clearly show that effective therapy is not a set of skills or techniques, but a way of being. Our here & now experience is the fuel of therapy. One more tidbit: Therapists are like shoes. You have to try some on before you find one that fits."
