My work with individual adults and couples is a combination of Traditional Psychology, evidence-based Positive Psychology and the practical application of Polyvagal Theory as a bridge between the two. Traditional psychotherapy focuses on problem solution and symptom reduction. Evidence-based Positive Psychology focuses on our strengths and the development of habits that can create a lasting sense of happiness, wellbeing and meaning in our lives. Polyvagal work offers practical and concrete ways to self-regulate our natural mindstates so we can intentionally move from stressful to more relaxed ways of being in the world.
The Positive Psychology that I practice includes elements of eastern thought such as mindfulness practice and meditation. It makes use of the latest brain research, which stresses the deep connection between mind and body and addresses the reduction of troublesome thought patterns that negatively impact our daily lives.
I invite you to give me a call so we can talk together and decide whether there is a good fit between what you're looking for and what I do.
