Counseling Psychologist & Positive Psychology Expert
As a counseling psychologist, author, and professor, I have dedicated my career to advancing the science of hope and positive psychology. My work bridges academic rigor with practical application, offering individuals tools to transform anxiety into purposeful living. With a PhD in psychology, a Master of Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, and an MFA in writing, I combine interdisciplinary expertise to help people cultivate resilience and self-awareness during life transitions. My role as Academic Director at Columbia Universitys Spirituality Mind Body Institute allows me to train future professionals while maintaining a global speaking practice. I have authored award-winning books, including The Positivity Effect and Learned Hopefulness, which distill complex psychological concepts into actionable strategies for everyday growth.

My TEDx talks and media features, such as Psychology Todays cover article on hope, reflect my commitment to making evidence-based mental health resources accessible. While I no longer take new therapy clients, I continue to collaborate with Psychology Today to connect readers with qualified professionals. My Hope Habits blog and podcast provide ongoing insights into leveraging character strengths for personal fulfillment.
