“I want to like myself but I just don’t know how...” “Once I am perfect, then I will be accepted/loved...” “I don’t even know where to start. It’s too hard...” “I feel like I just don’t belong sometimes...” If this sounds familiar, I am here to help you grow. You may not believe it’s possible to become the person you dream of being, but I know you can. I help to change my client’s own inner voices to be more kind and accepting of themselves. I want to help you bring a sense of clarity and compassion into your life, to embody a calmer and more focused purpose and give you courage to live the life you’ve always wanted.

I am passionate about helping individuals re-discover their ideal selves. I believe strongly that life doesn’t not necessarily equip us with all of the tools to be well-adjusted, well-functioning adults, and that everyone can use support to help navigate life’s challenges. The clients I tend to see usually present with a wide variety of issues, including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, substance use disorders and process addictions, trauma/PTSD, relational distress, LGBTQI and minority/marginalized-population issues, life transitions, self-esteem/self-control issues, and aging/older adults.

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.
