Marriage counseling that Heals in South El Monte, CA. Restore Your Relationship.

My passion is to help people reach their highest potential. To focus on strengths. I have been a therapist for over 22 years. I work on the faulty beliefs and messages one gives themselves that holds them hostage to their anxiety, depression and poor relationships.

Couples usually get stuck not because of what they know, but what they cannot see. Unhealthy patterns of relating become established and difficult to change. I help couples identify these patterns and create new ones that make room for your relationship to grow.

I love working with couples and have a very high success rate, approximately 95%. I help men and women make the transition from experiencing problems to experiencing a deeper connection, helping them resolve their marriage challenges, and increase satisfaction and love.

My work with families focuses on improved communication, so that all family members feel heard and solutions to problems are fair and reasonable. I also teach families to discuss issues without arguments and make family-life rewarding and fun.

A healthy marriage takes work. Therapy will reach the heart of the issues and begin the process of restoration. Let's get started.

I approach marital therapy without assumption or value judgement. Each person brings to a relationship unique attributes which may unknowingly contribute to conflict or painful relational patterns. I work with couples to explore, understand and change these patterns.
