With over 50 years of experience, I choose to work with motivated clients who are willing to take responsibility for becoming well and happy. I use a positive psychology approach, building on strengths while directly addressing problems head-on. I don't use a lot of diagnosis, preferring to see each person as an individual capable of overcoming problems and reaching her/his goals. I work with the person as a whole being, and am willing to address issues of spirituality if the client chooses. I have particular expertise in dealing with emotional issues and relationship healing.5 I specialize in emotional wellness, building on the strengths of each individual, and maximizing happiness in all aspects of life. I teach an optimistic attitude to my clients, with the research-based knowledge that this will be an asset that will serve them well all of their life. I offer telephone and video counseling via the platform of your choice, as a normal part of my ongoing practice. This allows clients to work from home, and gives out-of-area clients an opportunity to receive my services. I also have a highly interactive web site that provides supplementary information and support for clients and their families.
