What is Positive Psychology?

The human heart wants to sing.
We are all seekers. We are keepers of unsung songs. We all want to fulfill our life's promise.

This is my work. To show you the way.
To guide growth.

Positive Psychology is the heart of my work.

What is Positive Psychology? It is the study of happiness and well-being. It grows out of science - and reaches into the heart.

Most traditional psychology focuses on your problems and your defeats. Its goal is to take you from -5 to 0. Positive Psychology says neutral isn't enough. My work is to help people rise from neutral to +5

Look at it this way: Most of us have been taught little about how to grow happiness. (If your parents didn't understand it, how could they teach it?) And our culture doesn't help much either, huh?

That's where Positive Psychology comes in. In one study, positive psychology helped 92% of people feel better. Research is pouring out of our great universities (Over 700 studies in the last decade.) Positive psychology is new and yet has roots in the great wisdom traditions and spirit pathways of mankind

Besides seeing clients, I teach Positive Psych to the med students at UCLA. My clients tell me they see big improvements in their lives - and it doesn't take a long time. Besides that, I believe we should make it enjoyable. Fun helps change.

I start my work with clients by asking, "Where you want to go?" I don't believe we need to spend endless hours talking about the past. We start by setting a course toward your goal(s). The best route possible. We make it real and attainable.
