“Congratulations! It takes courage to risk change. Life's challenges sometimes cause us to lose hope that a more meaningful life is possible. But, isn't a more meaningful life what we are all looking for?.... a life of purpose, meaning and connection with others? It's time to move away from feeling like you're broken and dysfunctional. Let me help you discover "your strengths"! I've been assisting others to find the happiness they deserve for 34 years! A better life is in your reach....I"ll help you with the skills...you can do the rest!
During my long career, I've integrated the best of interpersonal relationship therapy, cognitive therapy, the latest science on the brain including interpersonal neurobiology and the current theories from the exciting field of Positive Psychology. I am a "Nationally Certified Group Psychotherapist" and graduate of Martin Seligman"s, "Authentic Happiness Coaching Program".
My passion is empowering others by giving them the skills necessary to "squeeze" the very best out of their "one and only precious life"! I am currently only accepting coaching clients and conducting groups. Check out my blog, www.PositvePsychologyAtWork.com.”
