If you read ONE self-help book this year, let “Self-Empowerment: Have the Life You Want!” be it!

This is one of the few self-help books that are actually written by a current, LICENSED psychotherapist, in a full-time practice, with over 18 years experience helping people just like you SOLVE the problems that bother you the most, in ALL areas of your life.  It’s  your “portable therapist” for the problems you face today.

With this book, you can learn to close the gap between how life IS, and how you would like it to BE, in important areas of your life:  mental health, health, career, relationships/sex, family, community, and spirituality.

Maybe you’re a college student, and want to learn some “life tips” as a young adult.  Maybe you’re a recent divorcee, looking to start life anew.  Maybe you’re an older person, but you want to take charge of life today.  Maybe you’re a single parent, looking to make every moment count.  Maybe you’re a professional, trying to make the most of your career.  This is a book that can help almost ANYONE (but is intended for adults).

The time for being dis-empowered is over.  The time for other people controlling your life? Also OVER.  So are living your life for other people, ignoring your dreams, and suffering in silence.  All… OVER.  Because the time for YOU to empower YOURSELF, is here.

With the tips in these pages, and through the “case study” stories that end each chapter, read the book and you will learn to:

- Feel more secure in your relationship.

- Refine your skills in communication and compromise with a partner.

- Learn how to cope with feelings of depression, anxiety, or resentment.

- Enhance your physical health, or learn to COPE with living with a chronic illness.

- Overcome long-standing struggles with your family.

- Get control of your finances, and fast.

- Create a better, more intimate, more satisfying sex life.

- Get  more involved in your local community, make friends, and not be so isolated.

- Clarify a spiritual practice that’s right for YOU.

- Increase a sense of hope, self-confidence, and determination to make your life better, in many areas of life.

- Get lots of advice, even if you’re not ready (or can’t afford) to invest in therapy, yet.

All of this is included (and more) in the book, based on my over 18 years of clinical practice as a psychotherapist and life/business coach at my office in Los Angeles, California, helping people from all backgrounds, walks of life, ethnicities, ages, and challenges.

Why listen to me?  Because helping people solve their problems, and to have the life they always envisioned for themselves, personally and professionally, is what I have done as a licensed psychotherapist (see here for proof) and life/business coach for over 18 years!  I work with individuals, couples, and families.  I speak at conferences and motivational workshops.  I’m active in my local community.  I HAVE the life I want, and I want to help YOU achieve that, too!
