We are all broken, that's how the light gets in. I love this quote! In our work together, you can expect to be met wherever you are at and to have your needs and values centered in our collaboration. We will attend to and nurture the deeper emotional forces within that we encounter, and use that to inform relationship dynamics that occur both in session and in your environment. I value creativity and find that co-creating metaphors with clients enhances a fuller sense of self-understanding. I also have separate creativity coaching options for clients with non-clinical issues who want to maintain, sustain, or deepen their work.

Do you feel stuck in patterns of behaviors that are self defeating? Do you feel like the color has gone out of your life? Are you longing for meaningful relationships but can't seem to create them? With every issue we confront, there's a tremendous opportunity for feeling revitalized. But to do this we must feel metaphorically held by another. That's where therapy comes in.

Everyone has the capacity to heal no matter how profoundly wounded they are. Each individual's path to healing will be unique and for the best chance of long term recovery a person needs to find a healthy balance within their body, mind and spirit. It is my intention to help each client find the unique treatment team to help them achieve this balance.
Additionally, I am experienced in affective, eating and personality disorders, substance abuse and trauma.
I also understand how each of these interact with one another and can cause even more distress within each person.

I am a Solution Focused Therapist working with individuals and couples. I have been in practice for 28 years. In my Solution Focused approach, a person looks at the issues/areas of life that need to be changed, and what habits, behaviors, actions and choices keep perpetuating these issues in your life or relationships. We look at when these issues are resolved, what will be different? What will you notice now that these issues are no longer on the emotional property of your life? What will others notice? What has stopped you in the past?

I work extremely well with clients who are motivated to change their lives. Often, our greatest challenges come during times of major life transitions. Through active listening and genuine empathy, I help my clients focus upon the inherent solutions to their most pressing problems. Motivation to change comes with the willingness to look closely and investigate the stories we tell ourselves. Often, I discover with my clients that their oldest and most damaging internal stories are simply not true. By having a fellow human who is open and fully present witness our lives, we can discover the very real possibility for greater health and happiness.

Our current expression of self is often shaped by a mixture of our early positive or negative experiences, attachments or lack thereof, biology, and environmental circumstance. As adaptive beings we develop ways of coping, patterns of emotionality, behavior, and strategies of relating to ourselves and other. Sometimes these ways of being are not working anymore.Luckily, there resides in all life a wisdom of self-healing. My role as a counselor is to provide a space for re-discovering and empowering that wisdom. Recent research has discovered that the nervous system can rewire itself through positive relational experience.

Let me guess… you’ve tried therapy before but it didn’t “take.” Or… you’ve tried therapy and all you did was talk for an hour straight while somebody nodded at you, which left you wondering why you were even there in the first place. You’ll notice that most therapy gets caught up asking about your emotions; the proverbial “and how does that make you feel?” Then it’s typical to get caught up in an endless reaction loop, worrying about your emotions and where “they” are going to take you next. But consider this: what if it has nothing to do with your emotions? What if it has to do with your thinking?

As a psychotherapist and Life Coach I am trained in clinical social work as well as in exercise physiology. I understand how the mind, body and emotions are interconnected. When we are physically attuned, we are able to access deeper parts of ourselves. These deeper parts may be limiting due to old beliefs, negative behavior patterns, confusing emotions, and often times a combination of all three. Also, I bring to my clinical practice over 28 years experience in fitness and coaching team sports. Together we can work to set and achieve clear, obtainable life goals.

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.
