My Approach to Helping

POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY is the heart and soul of my work. Inside all of us is a deep desire to be happy, to realize our potential, not to waste our time, nor squander our gifts. Positive Psychology is the study of happiness and well-being. We teach people how to live wonderful lives. My work is based on research done at our major universities. I teach at UCLA MedSchool. Unlike traditional therapy which often concentrates only on how to get from -5 to neutral, Positive Psychology is focused on how to help you move from neutral to +5. I welcome creative people, business executives, students and path changers. I help with depression ... stress and anxiety ... the search for a good relationship ... and people who are trying to find deeply meaningful work. When people ask me how to choose a therapist, here's what I tell them: Choose someone whose experience you trust ... someone who you like as a person ... and someone who sees the untapped possibilities in you. Look for the connection. If it doesn't feel right, it's not.
