I combine techniques from Positive Psychology, Relaxation, Mindfulness, Acceptance, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with compassionate and non-judgemental environment to help fulfill goals.
" What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us. " Ralph Waldo Emerson. I believe human beings are remarkably resilient to life circumstances. Each of us face obstacles to happiness that life brings our way. Throughout each human's lifetime he/she will face stress, grief, loss, disappointments, life changes, sadness, and challenges that stretch limits, question our place in this world, and prompt us to seek wisdom and guidance. To reach that goal, I implement Mindfulness, CBT, Boundaries, DBT, Self Esteem, Relaxation techniques, and reading recommendations as part of therapy.

Are the relationships in your life with family members, a significant other, or friends leaving you feeling less than happy, emotionally disconnected, isolated and alone? Is your career less than satisfying? Are you wanting to make a change, but the “what-ifs” got you stuck? Maintaining relationships and adjusting to transitions in life, and even the pressures of work and school can result in feelings of distress at times. Left unchecked, these issues can lead to anxiety, depression, and other mental health symptoms.

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.
