My goal is to help sufferers dramatically improve their outlook and quality of life by teaching them how to change their behavior and how to challenge habitual negative self-talk. I believe that willingness and a commitment to living life in line with one's values, instead of with one's fears or in response to life's difficulties, is the key to coping with distressing emotions and uncertain situations. I believe my patients are the bravest people I know. Asking for and receiving help is extremely difficult and I commend anyone who is willing to reflect, change, and grow.
