Introducing Therapist Thursdays On Temecula Patch

TEMECULA VALLEY, CA — Happy Thursday, Temecula! Here at Temecula Patch we try to bring you a mix of community news — the good, the bad, the strange and the ugly. This week, we're launching a new weekly column brought to us by a local resident and businesswoman. Introducing, Therapist Thursdays.

Rochelle Whitson will be writing a column each week about some of the universal issues we face locally and nationally. The advice will be just that — advice. Opinions are hers, posted here with the hope of helping some and to get you talking.

Here's a bit about Rochelle:
