I draw from positive psychology , The Gottman Method of Couples Therapy, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help my clients get back on track and live the lives they want.
I enjoy working with people from all walks of life. The struggle is real and we all need a little help sometimes to figure out where we want to go or what we want to do. As an athlete, I have a special interest and training in sports performance. I also specialize in working with couples and teenagers. Perhaps you’ve been struggling for a long time already. I want you to know that I’m glad you’re here and that therapy is a great starting point.

I provide evidence-based support centered on the link between cognition and emotion and rooted in positive psychology .
I love working with women juggling life's demands, parents and educators tackling the awe-inspiring (often maddening) experiences of raising and growing children, and adolescents navigating the social and emotional adjustment to adulthood. We each have a fundamental need for connection, autonomy, and belonging, a need to be seen and heard. I listen. I use mind, brain, and health science to help clients identify and connect their needs and values with their larger visions; to cultivate health-promoting and life-giving habits, navigate change, get unstuck, build resilience, and live well. Coaching fosters self-exploration and growth.

I’ve trained and began my career at The Menninger Clinic, where I’ve supported individuals and families in crisis, to calling on Positive Psychology and culinary therapy to build everyday ways that bring and maintain mental well-being.
I have long held the belief we could all be thinking about and caring for our mental health all the time, not only when we’re sick. This has formed my ultimate goal through which I approach therapy: to help people better connect with themselves and others. Making space for the hardest parts of life is just as important as building community, discovering and using your strengths, and building a meaningful connection with yourself and those around you. Whether you are deeply struggling, looking to grow with a partner, or deepen your understanding of self and designing a life in alignment with that, this is a space for you.

My modalities utilized include CBT, DBT, Person-Centered Approach, Solutions-Focused, Strengths-Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Positive Psychology , Motivational Interviewing, & Mindfulness-Based Practices.
We often feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in cycles of dysfunction in our lives. We allow emotions to choose our day and give away our power to unhelpful thinking. Therapy offers us a safe place of refuge, validation, and hope apart from our uncertain circumstances. The therapist and client develop a mutually respectful and healthy relationship built from developed trust and compassion. Within this domain, my goal is to deepen your insight, self-awareness, and help you practice kindness accepting that which is truly you. Together we will consider healthy perspectives and identify patterns that perpetuate unhelpful cycles.

I use CBT, Positive Psychology , and other solution focused techniques to assist all clients in understanding/working through presenting challenges.
Believing that your situation will turn out for the better, especially during difficult times, is extremely important. Belief alone however, will only take you so far. My aim as a therapist is to assist you in identifying and connecting the dots between your current beliefs and behaviors, and the challenges you're experiencing. We'll use sound therapeutic models as a framework in session, and together we'll work to enhance your outlook and reframe your life. You are remarkable and more resilient than you know, allow me to help you to see that.

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.
