Bio
I have been providing clinical services to Southwest Florida for 15 years in many different settings. Each of these experiences have shaped my clinical approach to helping others. In 2013, I made the decision to open my own practice, Positive Progress. My approach to counseling/coaching is focused on your needs. I will ensure you feel safe, supported, and understood. My strength is in my ability to accurately assess the root causes of your problem(s) and assisting you in developing a unique solution plan. Specific measurable goals are created by you. Your progress is monitored frequently.
