Family Counseling 101

Entrepreneurial leaders do not have a mindset that adapts to failure. Things go wrong, of course, but entrepreneurs don´t call them "failures" they call them "glitches, mistakes, bungles, setbacks" – but not failing.

When one such entrepreneur was asked about the hardest decision he ever had to make, he answered that he didn´t know what a hard decision was. An entrepreneur will approach decision-making with the idea that there´s a strong likelihood that he/she will be wrong. This doesn´t dissuade them – to the contrary they just do the best they can and worry about handling obstacles as they arise.

Here's a few entrepreneurs:

I am a experienced licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My focus is with individual, couple, children, adolescent, and family therapy. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, relational issues, and trauma. I have worked in university settings, churches, hospital and residential settings and outpatient treatment centers. During therapy I create a safe environment within which individuals, couples, adolescents, children, and families can explore their issues and challenges. I do this using faith based, strength based, brief solution focused therapy embedded in a narrative view. My training in Family systems includes an integrated sensitive and respectful style.

My education, training, and experience provide me with the ability to assess and implement the interventions most appropriate in each person´s unique situation, and my office provides comfort, confidentiality, and convenience. My preferred method of doing therapy is to go on a ´journey´ with my clients to learn about their problematic "stuck points" and to assist them in moving forward. On this journey, empowerment and growth are two key factors that we strive to achieve. I am passionate about helping my clients realize their personal and interpersonal goals. I am committed to providing my clients with the highest quality of care and individualized services.

I am a licensed psychologist practicing in Orange County California with 35 years of experience providing psychotherapy with individuals and marriage counseling with couples. When you are feeling troubled and don't know where to turn, therapy can be a safe place to work through your difficulties and concerns. Many of us would rather try to deal with problems on our own; but when you are feeling "stuck" or when problems keep repeating, an objective person who knows how to listen can help you through a difficult time.

I view most human problems as a function of the thoughts we think, which go to make up the beliefs we hold, which determine the emotions we carry and which further determine the behaviors we act out in our lives and relationships. Transform your self-defeating thoughts and you change your life -- forever! I will help you transform the way you view yourself and others. You can learn the gentle art of releasing troubling emotions with ease and confidence and restore authentic communication with your partner or spouse in just a short time.
