My overall mission is to not only to help people thrive as individuals, but within all of their relationships: at home and at work. It is my intention to help the integrity of these relationships in order to minimize conflict and empower people to be assertive and effective in their communication with others. Likewise, I love to help people feel more alive and present with both their family at home and their family at work. The purpose of life, of all of this, in my humble opinion, is to connect with our true selves, and that of the people around us – our coworkers, our communities, and our loved ones.

My long term vision is to convey the importance of having an onsite psychologist in the workplace. A multidisciplinary workplace psychologist wears many hats; she/he/they can be of assistance as needed for the individual AND the work family, help with managing all aspects of stress relating to mind/body/spirit, and most importantly serves as a relationship mediation expert who can help workplace flow to persevere and flourish in the face of daily obstacles. I see this as an integral conduit to an extraordinary company culture.

Correspondingly, my love for helping relationships to flourish lends itself to my interest in pop-culture phenomena, current relationship experiences/trends, and shedding light on misperceptions that create distance between people. For example, while my documentary looked at the phenomenon of the Twilight Saga, the deeper examination turned into why long-term relationships tend to lose the sense of aliveness that we all continue to long for in them. Whatever the nature of the relationship at hand, or the obstacles we face in life, we can transcend mediocrity through the passion that we bring to, and the joy that we feel through connections. Psychologists get just about 8 years of training between all the requirements; but we are not typically an industry that force our way into the public eye. For better or worse, most of us are terrible sales people. But we have so much to offer other than psychotherapy (which can be life changing for sure). My vision includes bringing Psychology increasingly into the public eye in different ways that can benefit our people, couples, communities and our world at large.
