Congratulations on making the decision to reach out to improve your life by enhancing your well-being.  Although reaching out can be difficult, making that decision is the first step towards changing your life in the ways you desire.  I enjoy helping individuals and couples from diverse cultural backgrounds to make changes to cope with a wide variety of issues.  I integrate several approaches to assist individuals and utilize those as well as Gottman approaches and the developmental model to assist couples.
