As Therapist and Life Coach, I am integrally connected to the burgeoning Science of Positive Psychology, which is the scientific study of what enables people and communities to thrive. My approach emphasizes the uniqueness and potential of each individual. I dwell in the possibility for positive change. I am committed to the use of tools which make it possible for you to recognize, appreciate and utilize your signature character strengths (you at your best) to assist you with any perceived problems, limitations and areas of healing, thereby opening the door for you to set your intention toward the realm of your possibility.

As a client, I hope you will find yourself willing to take meaningful risks for the sake of a full life. You will experience me as a strong advocate and champion for the fulfillment of your goals, helping you engage fully in your own possibility, renewal and personal transformation.

My practice style emphasizes health rather than pathology. "Rather than fixating on what is wrong, what is missing, what we have not been given or have not achieved, we instead focus on what is right, what is not lost, what is already working." (I credit the work of Martin Seligman.)

Taking the first step toward getting help is often the most difficult

The goal for this workshop series is simple and powerful:To help you lead lives that are happier, more engaged, and more deeply meaningful. I do this by drawing upon the principles of Positive Psychology."Positive Psychology is the scientific study of what enables individuals and communities to thrive and flourish.The field was founded in 1996 on the belief that people want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best within them and to enhance their experience of love, work and play." The Series consists of 4 monthly Sat aft workshops starting Jan 7/2012.
