Therapy can be an intimidating and difficult endeavor, but often with worthwhile results. Sometimes we simply want to understand ourselves better, improve our relationships, or find more balance in our lives, and other times we have serious concerns with our mood, anxiety, or current behavioral patterns. I use a personable, humorous approach in therapy to assist in navigating some of the discomfort inherent in the therapeutic process. Therapy is a place of non-judgment, and I am open and accepting of all persons and identities.

If you have been feeling "off", numb, lacking purpose, overwhelmed and burned out, you are not broken, you are just "out of tune"! Life can get us ALL out of tune from time to time, especially during times of transition, just like a guitar, we have to listen and adjust each string one by one. When we lose touch with your authentic selves, our thoughts, feelings and actions are not in alignment, we feel dissonant and it causes dis-ease in our bodies. I specialize in helping my clients navigate life transitions (such as loss of a loved one, divorce, a career pivot, retirement, health issues) to gain clarity and become more attuned.

My primary specialty is romantic conflict. Many persons I counsel are either "stuck" or at an impasse. They just cannot seem to resolve their conflict. They often see their issues worsen despite efforts. I address the root causes, matters that often go unaddressed. These root issues are often why couples continue to fight. These matters are so strong that they can take the best of romances and turn them into near hatred and disgust. My secondary specialty is emotional management, including with children. I primarily address regret, fear, anger, and anxiety, helping you understand and manage emotions that hold you back.

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.
