Life can be overwhelming at times, leading to anyone becoming stuck. Stuck in relationships, stuck in day to day experiences, or even stuck wondering how it feels to be whole again. I believe there is hope in each individual that can be resurrected or revived through a healthy and compassionate therapeutic relationship, leading to one experiencing wholeness as they discover their strengths that help them to thrive. I strongly believe in providing empathic, safe, and non- judgmental space that allows individuals to process their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in the moment.

I strongly believe that the body and mind are connected, and I embrace positive psychology, including the power of mindfulness, into my practice.
In today’s society, emotional resiliency is a necessity, as stressors of everyday life can overwhelm, confuse, and disorient our minds. We struggle to be productive, feel fulfilled, and maintain healthy relationships with ourselves and others. Stress, anxiety, depression, loss, grief, and other adverse experiences can take a long-term toll on our health and overall happiness. We all strive to obtain this happiness, yet a great deal of us struggle to cope with daily tasks, and it can be even harder to make a positive change in our lives without proper motivation, validation, and support. That’s why I’m here!

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.
