The Purpose of Positive Psychology is

I received my Ph.D. in Health Psychology in 2018, from Walden University, which is also where I received my Masters in Mental Health Counseling. My dissertation focused on using video public service announcements to motivate people to engage in physical activity. In 2016 I completed a study abroad for 4 months to further my cultural understandings. I have worked in both hospital and group practice settings before deciding to open my own private practice. During my time working in hospitals and group practice I gain experience with mood disorders, personality disorders, relationship counseling, and substance use recovery. Once I opened my private practice, I narrowed my specialty to three areas: 1: Anxiety due to a medical condition, 2: ADHD Testing & Executive Function Counseling 3: Bariatric Pre-Surgical Testing and Health and Wellness/Weight Management counseling.
​While I work with adults of all ages, my Solution Focused approach to therapy tends to work well with professionals at all levels. ​
