Winnicott wrote, "Feeling real is more than existing; it is finding a way to exist as oneself." It is my hope that through the process of therapy, you'll come to know and develop yourself in ways that are life affirming. I am a clinical psychologist, providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and groups. My approach is collaborative, and together we'll uncover new perspectives for understanding and managing difficulties that hold you back. We'll look for patterns from your past that inform your current circumstances, and nurture the character strengths that help you live more fully.

I use a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and a
positive psychology
of sorts to uncover the lies and replace them with truth.
I believe the client is the expert. You know your self better than anyone. You know how you feel when life happens, you know what frustrates you and what makes you angry. You know what is upsetting and what makes you sad, and you know when something isn't right or that something is off. The problem is that sometimes you don't know why, and if you don't know why, you can't fix it. I take an approach that starts with uncovering what you believe, because so much of what you believe becomes reality whether it's through our behavior or through some kind of a self fulfilling prophecy.

Do you have trouble just getting out of bed? Are you finding yourself in a never-ending cycle of forgetfulness, disorganization, and poor time management? Have others written you off as "lazy", "irresponsible", or "careless"? Perhaps these issues have even put a strain on relationships, school, or the workplace. These challenges can be very painful, and they are a reality for many adults living with ADHD. Living with ADHD can be difficult, but you do not have to go on this journey alone. You need a compassionate, neurodivergent-affirming professional to support you along the way.

Your brain has done an excellent job keeping you safe through so many things, but some of those thoughts and behaviors that kept you safe may no longer be serving you. We can take time to honor their origins and replace them with more customized strategies. Issues like family discord, medical illnesses, familial neurodivergence, and toxic work environments can all add up to impact our tolerance, especially when dealing with more than one simultaneously. Let’s talk soon and start untangling your story.

Just like the seasons changed the leaves on a tree, our situations in life changes. I understand the importance of living a Biblical life in our current society. Sometimes we need a safe space to be human and apply our faith without fear while healing.

Positive Psychology Therapists
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 behaviors 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 behaviors 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 behavioral habits.
