I use a combination of CBT, EMDR, and Positive Psychology.
Do you feel overwhelmed with worry and panic? Are your relationships Characterized by discord and conflict? Perhaps you are struggling with an addiction that you can't control. Maybe you are struggling with your self-image and negative self-perception, or maybe life has been very challenging lately. If you are a motivated adult keen to bring about change but uncertain about how to start, I can be there as a guiding supportive force, helping you learn to live with joy and purpose.

If you are looking for ways to be effective in managing stress and finding balance in your life, cognitive behavioral therapy is likely to empower you with improving your ability to reach your goals. This involves a practical approach in utilizing your strengths and becoming aware of some self defeating patterns with thoughts and behaviors that keep you from moving forward in your life, and perhaps with relationships and career. I have many years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I am not currently offering teletherapy.

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.
