Along our mysterious journey through this universe and our life, we all have the opportunity to improve ourselves. Psychologists like myself work to help people fulfill their potential. Life is not just about such things as depression and stress. It is also about joys such as listening to your favorite music, seeing the face of a loved one, and making a contribution to the sometimes overwhelming process of life on Earth.
Psychotherapy is a method of treating mental health problems. Modern psychotherapy has a history of over one hundred years now, dating back to Freud.
