While living in Hong Kong, I earned my M.Ed. in Guidance and Counseling from Newcastle Upon Tyne University, Newcastle, United Kingdom. I earned my M.A. in Counseling Psychology from City University of Seattle, Bellevue, WA, USA. I have over 15 years of counseling experience both overseas and in the US.
Individual counseling sessions take place at my private office in Cumming, GA or you may choose to use my Tele-Counseling alternative if you live elsewhere in the state of Georgia or Indiana. I provide a safe place for people to resolve inner conflicts, process life experiences, heal from traumas and examine personal thoughts and goals.
Have you asked yourself: "Why do I react to my partner like this even though I know it will cause more problems?" Or, "How do we get into these same devastating arguing cycles that happen over and over again?" Or, you may have found out your partner has been unfaithful and you want to know how to get through this painful betrayal.
Taking time for therapy is a bold step in learning new, more functional ways of interacting. For instance, you can find out that while most of your problems seem to be settled on one individual, it actually involves the entire familial system. This means the family not only inadvertently maintains the problem but can also function as the means for resolving it.
What is the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist? Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in understanding how medications for mood disorders interact with the body and other medications you may be taking. Some psychiatrists may provide occasional therapy but they primarily provide medication.

I have been to quite a few counselors and this is the first time that I had a great experience. I went to Dorice when I lived in Georgia and miss our session now that I moved to Oregon. First, my partner and I went to Dorice to help us with our communication issues. We were on the brink of divorce and had a lot of resentment towards one another. Dorice really listened with care each session and provided tools and advice that brought love and respect into our marriage. We would have "homework" after some sessions to assist with communication. Now, it's almost strange to look back

Dorice irrevocably harmed my marriage.
I sought Dorice's help, hoping to save my marriage. I was willing to do anything necessary. My wife and I had already visited a counselor who took sides, so I talked with Dorice beforehand to say that we weren't looking for someone to stir conflict or tear one or the other down; we were looking for insight.
Dorice said this wasn't her style, saying she had worked with the Gottman institute, a well-respected and well-researched marriage counseling and research firm. I was impressed. We scheduled an appointment.
