Positive Psychology Therapists in West Tisbury, MA

My philosophy is that you are already whole - creative, intuitive and bright! There is nothing broken, perhaps just fuzzy, or frustrating. Have you tried traditional therapy and been dissatisfied by the lack of results? Agreed! However, there is rich territory inside of you to explore. You may have people in your life you admire - even adore. Their best qualities are already inside of you, waiting to emerge. Our work together will produce results for you quickly -out of emotional pain and moving forward with hope. I have been a coach and therapist for a long time and there is little I have not experienced. There is hope.

Se Habla Español. Are you experiencing the stress with every day life? Are you feeling overwhelmed and like you just can't do everything you need to do? Having gone through both of those experiences, I know what it's like to feel like the world is caving in. Sometimes it's difficult to think clearly when our plate is not just full, but overly full and ready to overflow. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and through our work together, I can help you reduce the stress and anxiety that you may be feeling.

Steps to feeling better includes engaging in a process of self-discovery, learning and growing. Negative patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving are changeable. Some patterns are counter intuitive to living a healthy and happy life. I enjoy guiding clients in their own journey of self-discovery, via identifying barriers and opportunities in reaching personal goals. The therapeutic process is not always a linear path, there are twists and turns. However, there are evidenced-based strategies that can help you. My goal is to present them to you, show you how to use them until one or several provide meaningful results.

When we are lost or realize things are not working, there is a path to a more hopeful future.

I bring honest and genuine intention to work with you as a unique whole individual-one that is not defined by diagnosis. Our environment will be empathetic and warm, free of judgement to explore your experiences and struggles in a safe and confidential setting.

Life is about relationships. Yet anxiety and feelings of unworthiness can lead to self sabotage. I work with people to identify emotional roadblocks, alter negative self talk, recognize strengths, and implement habits that will bring a sense of affinity to others, and more kindness to ourselves.

When defensiveness is decreased, mutual flexibility and loving communication grows. With Life Coaching, areas of health, education, career, and relationship are addressed.
