If you are looking for a therapist who works actively, will avoid taking sides, will give you suggestions and guidance, help you generate hope and affection again, why not reach out for some direction today?

For twenty years, I have been providing individual counseling, marriage therapy, couple therapy, family therapy, parent skill training, and group counseling.

I have two offices in Southern California locations. One in Temecula, ten minutes from Murrieta, and one in Moreno Valley, about ten minutes from the Riverside residential areas. Office hours are: Monday through Thursday, from 11:00 A.M. until 8:30 P.M.on some days.

Are you ready to create the changes together to improve your life and relationships? then to Reconnect... to yourself... and one another, call to discuss an appointment, or contact me below…

COUPLES: Are you growing farther away with each passing day? Are betrayals, mistakes or past grudges keeping you from healing and having the relationship you want? "This is our last ditch effort" or "I don't know if I can try anymore". These are comments I often hear when people call me. But if there is a desire somewhere to find a way to each other again, renew old passions, new skills can be acquired to live more completely together.

You probably wouldn't be looking for someone like me unless you valued your relationship and your partner and wanted to find a better way. Sometimes that first call can help to feel motivated, ready to make the changes that will invigorate your relationship. Whatever stage or place of relationship you are in, if you would like help, feel free to call me and discuss an appointment.

PREMARITAL & REMARRIED COUPLES: Identify how to make your marriage a success, not just your wedding day; it will give your ceremony true and lasting meaning. And, if you are remarried, with children from one or both first marriages, learning to form a new family, you may find this an unexpected challenge.

Learn to make the most of your relationship whether it is just launching, or relaunching. With empathy, new information and skills, you can make the changes needed for a happy and meaningful life.

What can you expect from me? I often hear clients talk about experiences in therapy with few suggestions or direction. Even worse, some tell me they were told to get a divorce; and felt they were hopeless. I will treat your relationship with the serious attention it deserves. I am "marriage-friendly" and support the unique value of committment in relationships. Whether to stay or leave, however, is your relationship decision to make.
What do I ask of you? Therapy will have more success when you bring to the process as much hope and desire for change as you can, willingness to look at yourself, and patience for the new behaviors to "take root."
Yes, I realize it's a risk to take the first step and reach out for help. You can expect few changes in your life, however, without some anxiety and effort. It helps to have someone working on your side, to bring harmony and happiness to your life again and to your home.
Let's work together toward creative solutions, with deeper compassion, for greater connections.

INDIVIDUALS:Depressed...anxious...something missing? Is your life out of balance, lacking joy or meaning? Are you looking for a meaningful relationship and seem to be attracting the wrong kind of energy? Are you finding it difficult to say no to others, even when you are exhausted?

I listen carefully to people I work with to uncover limiting self messages, sabotaging behavior patterns, pain that is preventing them from moving forward. You may find that a new perception, skill or deeper exploration is needed in order to move forward. I will help you find the way, whatever road we take together.
