My counseling philosophy is influenced by positive psychology, the scientific study of strengths that enable individuals to thrive.
My passion is inspiring people to maximize their life potential by helping them release the ties that are binding them to unhappiness and suffering. The heart of counseling is not to give advice or to fix, the heart of counseling is to create the natural conditions for growth wherein the client (that's you!) evolves beyond the problems they are experiencing and discovers the depths of their own personal power that they can bring to any life challenge.

One of my favorite things a patient has said to me is “Thank you for being part of my journey”. That’s what life is to me – a journey we are all on together.

I use a mixed relational approach pulling from person-centered therapy, existential therapy, DBT and more. I am committed to providing you a safe, sex positive, non-judgmental space for trust and growth to happen. I work with people from all walks of life on issues like anxiety, ADHD, family history, and relationships, etc.

Life can be complex, messy, and difficult to function in. I work with both individuals and couples/families and there is no limit to what kind of issues or goals you can have for therapy. Anxiety, eating disorders, work/school stress, depression, and family trauma don't even begin to scratch the surface of what you can bring to the session when you meet with me.

A solution of the past can be the downfall of your present as well. I believe that in order to truly help someone; one must first seek to understand and then to be understood. Treat yourself as if you are someone worth being helped. To succeed in doing so, one must gain a deeper level of self-awareness through connecting the unconscious patterns of today, to the past traumatic events we have experienced. Understanding that the external world is a direct reflection of what is happening in the internal world, your perception can be a deciding factor to a new reality. Your life is what you choose it to be.

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.
