I currently use an amalgam of cognitive/behavioral, positive psychology, inner child, quality of life therapy, and relationship enhancement techniques. Positive Psychology is a dynamic new approach to counseling which focuses on identifying what is right and good in your life and building on that. Quality of Life Therapy combines the cognitive/behavioral and Positive Psychology methods to create a path to developing true personal Happiness. The approach we use in our therapy depends upon the issues you present and your goals. Together we will pursue your quest for that elusive Happiness.
