Paula Fowler is a professional counselor. After she works with you to find the topic that needs to be addressed. She is well versed on many resources to assist you in the area that you want help in. She is not overbearing at all. She suggests materials and exercises to help but never forces anything. An easy ear to talk to with a well educated mind that can follow through. I strongly recommend her.
