I can't believe this is happening! Sound familiar? Did you catch your spouse cheating on you? Betrayal, fear, shame, anger, rage, sadness, hyper-vigilance and a host of other intense emotions are consuming your life. Maybe your spouse hasn't cheated on you. Maybe you have drifted apart and you feel like roommates. Is your spouse distracted, spending hours on the computer or clinging to the phone? Do you feel emotionally, physically and spiritually cut off? Have you caught your spouse watching porn? Often times, porn is a major contributor in intimacy disorders and sex addictions. Don't give up, there is hope!

After working with individuals, couples, and families for over thirty years I have come to two conclusions. At the root of most problems is an unhealthy relationship. Secondly, most of us have developed unhealthy coping strategies to deal with the challenges. Our old ways of coping cause conflict in our most important relationships today. Together we will identify and understand these behaviors, learn new skills and uncover our authentic self. Only then we will achieve our goals. Change is possible!

My "ideal client" knows to provide loved ones the very best, he or she must also be at an individual best. Short-changing the "self" depletes the ability to offer abundance to others. Whereas prospering in heart, health, mind, and body lead to connections of premium value. My clients look beyond the ordinary, knowing possibilities are endless and will be found with concerted effort and bravery. Keeping life fresh, free and filled with potential, elevates us all. When my clients depart they have renewed joy and gratitude because they are awakened to the gifts that were once just beyond their reach but now part their life scripts.

Attentive help. Because you matter. Do you wish your problems would just go away - that life would get better? Do you feel lost or trapped? Are you angry or just tired of the status quo? Have loved ones behaved badly giving you problems, confusion, or chaos? Maybe you have a few behavioral regrets. You may feel conflicted from within or beset from without, but frustration and turmoil do not have to dominate your life. It can seem overwhelming to talk about your problems to risk ending up feeling unheard and ultimately without much support - or judged. I get all of this. I hear you.

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.
