My training in Feminist therapy, Motivational interviewing, and positive psychology means I have the expertise you need and deserve.
You want to feel authentic and empowered, but you are struggling to calm insecurities and negative self-talk. You may be fed up with the constant overthinking, imposter syndrome, or feeling that you just can’t let things go. You might even be envious of those who seem to have it all. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to understand why this is happening. You are ready to feel confident and assertive in your life. Most of all, you’re ready to feel unbothered and happy with yourself.

I operate from a person-centered approach, which emphasizes being genuine, providing unconditional positive regard, and empathic understanding in the efforts to foster our therapeutic connection to enhance this emotional & powerful relationship.

I have over 20 years of experience with all age ranges, using play therapy, art therapy, sand therapy, CBT, mindfulness stress reduction and DBT therapy to build skills, and talk therapy with a positive psychology and psychodynamic blend.
Have you had a recent change in your life and want a safe person to talk with to better understand yourself? Perhaps your feelings have felt more intense: anxiety, depression, confusion, or desire to find purpose to your life. You look around - seeking answers, understanding, & deeper healing. Maybe a life situation unfolded and you were suddenly on a path you never imagined (job loss, divorce, etc) or one you wanted to be on but it’s more stressful or different than what you thought (attending college or a new job). If this is you, I can support you. I approach all my clients with the understanding that we are capable of change.

I primarily use a combination of CBT, ACT, and positive psychology with my clients.
On the surface, you’re the picture of success—polished, driven, enviable. Your resume reads like a “how-to” guide on acing life, and those around you probably see you as a model of discipline and achievement. But deep down, there's a different story. You feel like you’re one misstep away from being unmasked as an imposter or, worse, a failure. The perfectionism that once fueled you now feels like a relentless critic, and that ever-present pressure to stay on top of things is starting to drain your spark. The more you push, the more you feel stuck in a never-ending battle with yourself.

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.
