I utilize a variety of techniques, including dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, emotionally focused couples therapy, crisis intervention, stress management, assertiveness training, mood management, anxiety reduction, empowerment and work/life balance. I firmly believe that even the most precious of all gems needs to be chiseled and faceted to attain its best shine.

Ophelia is one of the best therapist I’ve had. We’ve been working together for several months and in that short time she’s helped me gain a deeper understanding of myself so I can make the changes to lead a more rewarding life.

I have had 2 sessions with Ophelia so far and she is by far the best therapist I have ever had. She really and truly listens and treats me with respect. I’ve had bad experiences with previous therapists so I am a little untrusting with them and have put off having further therapy because of my negative past experiences. Ophelia is non-judgemental and non-condescending. She has really restored my faith in therapists. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Ophelia.

Ophelia is an amazing therapist. I was a little skeptical having never done this, but I went into it willing to try. While I've only had 3 sessions she has given me much insight on some of the things I'm dealing with. Id highly recommend her!
