If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and honestly, I get it because I’ve been there too. I help adults manage anxiety, perfectionism, ADHD, OCD and women’s mental health so life feels calmer, lighter, and more manageable.

Let me tell you, there’s this saying many of our parents or grandparents used to say: 'Just look toward the light at the end of the tunnel. Everything will be alright.' But let’s be real—what happens when that tunnel feels endless? When the road twists, and we can’t even see the end? Or when the darkness is so heavy that we’re just focused on not stumbling, let alone looking for some distant light?
If that’s how you’re feeling right now, I see you. Life can get overwhelming—depression, stress, hopelessness, feeling like you’re stuck with no way out. But what if I told you that the light at the end isn’t the only light that matters?

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.
