| philosophy:
The problems that you are experiencing in your relationships
are in fact common. And all too often, couples prematurely
end their relationships without thinking ahead. Without
realizing that they are likely to be in the same exact predicament
as today. Yes, making a long-term relationship successful
is hard work, but you can save yourself more pain and stress
in the future by confronting your issues, patterns and approaches
now. I am here to lead you through this process. The work
is challenging. However, the results will help you improve
your relationships and help you live a calmer more fulfilled
life. Our therapy will begin with your objectives and end
when we have achieved them. |

approach:
My
therapy presents a model on how to develop a successful
relationship. My therapy is focused; interactive, and structured
to solve problems. I integrate cognitive (thoughts driving
behavior) affective (emotions driving behavior) and behavioral
(action driving behavior) approaches. Together, we will
obtain success by using my proprietary Love Cycle system.
This system is based on working with hundreds of clients
helping them with their life struggles. I can help you with:
Communication
problems
Unfulfilled emotional needs
Trust issues
Angry outbursts or sullen withdrawal
Conflicts involving affairs
Problems involving time or money
Sexual problems
Parenting or family problems

| success
factors:
The
most critical factors for successful counseling and psychotherapy
are for the therapist to be able to accurately understand
your feelings and concerns, have an accepting nonjudgmental
attitude, and to be authentic and real. The development
of a positive, trusting relationship with the therapist
is also critical. Other essential factors required are that
each person is motivated to change. |
