Are you seen as the "strong friend" –the one others lean on during challenging times. If you find yourself in this role, it can be both rewarding and demanding. You have a reputation for being dependable, level-headed, and capable of providing support and guidance. People often rely on you without considering the emotional toll it may take on you. The expectation to be strong all the time can become overwhelming, leaving you with little space to attend to your own struggles or vulnerabilities. It's crucial to remember that you are not invincible and and that it's okay to ask for support when you need it.

If you're ready to find your inner badass - I can help via online therapy - daytime, evenings & weekends! The stress of all the everyday things - work, family, appointments, etc - can be overwhelming. You get a moment to breathe & you feel guilty, wondering if you deserve to take time for yourself. Clients who are ready for a change - whether after bariatric surgery, while managing chronic illnesses, or embracing their identity - feel unheard and overwhelmed because the support they need isn't there. It can be hard to feel understood when you feel alone in your journey.

At times, it can be difficult to admit to ourselves when we are in need of help. It can be even more difficult to admit this to someone else. Counseling, however, creates a safe space to share struggles, fears, feelings, experiences, and more. Counseling can provide peace of mind in good times or bad. As a counselor it is my goal to provide you with a space that is warm and welcoming, and one which you can come as you are! I provide counseling services from a non-judgmental and empathetic point of view.

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.
