My work is informed by years of practice and research in evidence-based methods and interventions aimed at helping people change. I create strong collaborative relationships with a goal of helping to improve personal and interpersonal effectiveness, and to bringing about one's best, most authentic self. By working on problematic relationship patterns, changing patterns of thought and behavior, and by learning to become more flexible and integrated, my aim is to increase my patients' overall effectiveness and help them to lead happier and more fulfilling lives. I expect changes made in therapy will lead to systemic improvements in the quality and functioning of my patients' relationships—and ultimately, to others in their lives.
