"Is this you? All we do is fight! It seems like we never hear each other and neither of us listens anymore! It is so frustrating I do not want to come home and try. I have been successfully helping couples to develop the tools necessary to communicate effectively for more than 20 years. Having disagreements is not unusual. Learning how to resolve disagreements is a key element to healthy relationships. Conflict resolution is about learning to fight fairly by listening in an atmosphere of Respect, Trust, Safety and love and not placing my desire to be right over the relationship. $150 per 50-minute session.

"It’s a new day. No more shame. The first step is seeking out a therapist who understands your experience. I have been in practice for 10 years. I’ve worked in Compton, Watts, Gardena, and now Long Beach developing the skills needed to address diverse multicultural issues. Therapy can give you the opportunity to process things happening in your life with an unbiased person. How many of us have asked our friends or family for feedback on things happening in our lives (I'll raise my hand). The only problem with that is their solutions or feedback, can be biased or self-motivated. "

"We all deserve to feel good about ourselves. During times of stress feelings of anxiety and sadness can be overwhelming and lessen ones sense of self worth. Therapists assist in restoring emotional balance and feelings of well being, by listening, identifying patterns of destructive thoughts, and helping to build more effective thought patterns and coping mechanisms. It is a process that requires openness, patience, and kindness with one's self. Feeling safe with one's therapist is vital. The most important quality, may be the experience of being valued, accepted and understood. The therapeutic relationship becomes a foundation for change."
