About

I am a positive therapist. I take the symptoms, challenges and life struggles seriously with care and compassion. I am experienced/trained in a variety of helping methods. I use the methods that best fit client needs. It is important that clients understand the many facets of their experiences. I often seek Options, Opportunities, Possibilities and Solutions (OOPS) with clients in an effort to help live happier, productive and successful lives. If I can not help, I always refer to a professional who can.
