Navigating our worlds can be really challenging these days. Day to day life can be complex enough, but when additional stressors appear, things can get really difficult. Sometimes it is really helpful to have someone with a calm and quiet presence, and a couple decades of skilled practice outside of your normal life to talk to when things get overwhelming. It is reassuring to know that you can find effective and compassionate help.

Sometimes we are too close to our own lives to see our situation clearly, or we get stuck in repeating patterns and knee-jerk reactions. Sometimes fear and limiting beliefs about ourselves and others get in the way of living the life we want to live. It is a sign of strength to recognize this, and to seek an outside perspective. My approach to counseling is client-centered and intuitive. People know truth when they hear it - it resonates. I have found over the years that finding and following this resonance, works at deeper levels and consistently yields the results my clients are looking for. It is the foundation of my approach.

Welcome! I'm so glad you are taking a step to take care of yourself! Therapy is a place of refuge and solace; a place to slow down to take a closer look at what has not been fulfilling, what has caused pain, what has lingered and now surfaces as problematic. It's a place to address underlying relationship patterns, trauma, losses, etc. with compassionate support. It is ALSO a place to honor what you have become even in spite of what has left you feeling "stuck," anxious, lost, sad, overwhelmed, fearful, alone, etc.

The teenage years are the most vulnerable, exciting, and growing years of a young person’s life. Self discovery can often yield low self esteem, independence can easily shift to rebellion, and a slow maturation process often creates impulsive decision making. And when a parent’s warnings and worries don’t seem to have an impact on the teenager’s course, or when it feels too heavy to carry alone, it’s helpful to have another guiding force to help. Through counseling, an adolescent can feel understood, begin to understand themselves, and learn to understand and accept their role in the family and society.

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.
