I am known for Caring and Professional PERSONAL, MARRIAGE & RELATIONSHIP Counseling. Life is all about relationships. We shape them, and they shape us - they touch us to our very core! But finding a well-qualified relationship therapist when your relationship is suffering can be very difficult! Many therapists lack the specialized training, experience, or license to work with couples and families. As a result, couples often experience marriage therapy as lukewarm in supporting the goal of life-long commitment. I am licensed as a Marriage & Family Therapist, as well as Clinical Social Worker at the highest level of experience.

The best version of you is not determined by other people's opinions, how much money you have, the way you look or feel, or what is going on in your life. Your value is reflected in your perspective - the personal stories that you have created and believe about yourself. There are choices in how you think about yourself, other people and situations. It may not change the situations, but it can change YOU! The miracle of seeing possibilities when you see no hope, to believe that you are so much more than your problems and pain, to understand that the biggest thing that you are missing in your life is YOU.

Psychotherapy is a confidential interpersonal relationship formed between a mental health professional and a patient. In this setting issues are addressed related to a person's level of functioning internally (way of thinking) and externally (how they react to the environment). In treatment, patients are able to talk with someone privately who is unbiased and that provides an objective point of view to their pending circumstance and assists them with problem resolution. Psychotherapy supports people with getting in touch with and their inner most feelings and learning how to communicate it more effectively, so that they improve relationships with others in their life (family/work/friends/school). This form of treatment can be performed one on one, with groups, couples and/or families. Individual psychotherapy is provided to adolescents and adults. Additionally, couples counseling and family therapy is also available. The primary mode of treatment is through behavioral and cognitive therapy models. Psychiatric referrals are available upon request.

Do you feel you are riding an emotional rollercoaster? Alternatively, do you feel like you are living in auto-pilot, going through the motions in life without finding much satisfaction? Or maybe you are experiencing anxiety, depression, difficulty coping with past traumas, relationship or work difficulties, or are just feeling stuck. Although we may find ourselves surrounded by supportive family and friends, we may still feel alone and isolated in our distress. Pain in life may be unavoidable, but you don’t need to go through it alone.

Let's be honest, things have been stressful lately! And even though you know everyone is going through it, it doesn't bring you much comfort and you may even feel like you are alone with this. You may have already had a lot going on before things changed and now you have that and this compounded together. The weight of it all can get pretty heavy at times and you are trying to be the best you can with everyone around you. You put on your best straight-face and a smile but worry that you're one moment away from losing it. Imagine how great it will feel to let all that go and feel more in control and confident!

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.
