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 lead happier, more fulfilling lives. I expect changes made in therapy will lead to systemic improvements in my patients' lives.
My education and training has been primarily psychodynamic/psychoanalytic, and my approach reflects the application of this evidence-base. I believe in the power and importance of attachment relationships, early experience, and the ways our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors lead us to make particular choices and meanings in our lives.
My work is generally open-ended and continues until the presenting problem has been resolved, or until you are no longer benefiting. I also offer planned brief/time-limited therapies. A summary of my approach and services, along with a full description of my practice, is posted on my website.
