I work from Attachment and Positive Psychology therapy frameworks, using modalities such as Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Hello, I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor. Life can be challenging, but we can do hard things, and when we work together, you can discover your strengths and improve your feelings of self-worth and purpose. When you feel hopeless, we can work together to find your direction and regain the power you may have lost. I want to help you embrace your life and the lessons it can show you. I can help you process feelings of anxiety, stress, sadness, loss and anger that may be overwhelming. Let's start with you telling me your story, and we can walk on from there.

I strive to create a comfortable space where you can safely explore your issues, develop alternate perspectives and learn effective techniques to change thinking and behaviour patterns that are no longer serving you. My approach is skills focused as many clients tell me they understand their problems but don’t know what to do about them. With this in mind, I am outcome focused and combine evidence based mindfulness and cognitive behavioural approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy which are shown to get results. These approaches are very effective and make a significant difference.

Positive Psychology Counsellors

How does positive psychology therapy work?

Positive psychology therapy derives from the work of Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania. He and others developed the field of positive psychology building on humanistic theory. Positive psychology therapy is similar to acceptance and commitment therapy, and it essentially quiets emotional distress through positivity, contentment, and well-being. This therapy does not reduce the individual to symptoms and conditions.

When do I know if I need treatment using positive psychology?

If an individual is overwhelmed by emotional distress and general negativity, they may feel trapped. A positive psychology therapist can help them view their emotions and behaviours differently, and approach life with a better understanding of their positive strengths. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

What should I expect from positive psychology therapy?

The patient may be asked to explore their signature strengths. The therapist will also ask the individual to talk about their goals, which should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely. Discussing negative experiences and symptoms is important, but so is the exploration of positive experiences. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviours and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more positive and fulfilling way. This therapy is proactive and may use forgiveness, gratitude, hope, and compassion to help reframe negativity.

Is positive psychology effective in therapy?

Positive psychology therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with eating disorders benefit from this type of intervention. This therapy encourages the person to reframe their distressed thoughts and move into healthier patterns of functioning. This therapy also aims to move an individual toward what works well in their life. Positive psychology therapy can elicit lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.
