CurrentOptimistic Counseling PLLC assists individuals, families, and couples achieve more effective and fulfilling lives amid social, interpersonal, and professional challenges. Goals of counseling are cooperatively established between client and counselor. The hope is that clients experience a decrease in distressing issues while overall wellness increases. Clients are valued, respected, encouraged, and honored in their emotional, spiritual, and interpersonal health journey. For over thirty years, I have created strengths-focused environments for young people and their families. My life’s work is diverse and extensive, including early childhood education, youth mentoring, family mediation, overseas medical outreach, couples counseling, stress management, parent/teacher education, and prevention/intervention/education related to substance use and abuse.
