My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Thoughts become words, words become actions, actions become deeds, and deeds become destiny. Gain mastery over your mind and reinvent yourself.

Couples Counseling

I've been seeing couples in therapy for 45 years. Improve communication. De-escalate arguments. Build a stronger relationship by allowing it to evolve. Remember if two people think exactly alike, one of them is unnecessary. Learn to use the love languages The 3 most important words in every couple's love language is NOT "I love you," but, "Let it go!"

Existential

Karma is not simply, "what goes around comes around," but rather the sum of every decision you ever made up until this very moment. To improve your mental health learn to accept reality as it is, not how we wish it was, then you will make decisions that serve you.

Family Therapy

Structural Strategic Family Therapy is aimed at establishing appropriate boundaries and facilitating effective communication, thereby changing the structure of the family. It aims to encourage family members to solve their problem as a unIt. It is essential when working with children to work with the entire system.

Mind-body approach

The mind and body are one. Where the mind goes the body follows, and visa versa. The first step to improve the quality of your life is self-care. Learn to increase the "Life Force", the willpower, and in months you will be doing things you never dreamed possible
