I often draw on principles and techniques of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and at times introduce clinical hypnosis as a component of treatment to help with symptom relief and self-exploration. We will work together to identify thoughts, feelings, and inner conflicts that may keep you from doing as well as you would like. I seek to disarm guilt and shame so that we can clearly and objectively explore alternate ways of being and relating. My aim is to work collaboratively with you to move in the direction of your therapy goals. This process may come about by your gaining a better understanding of yourself or by changing some aspect of your thinking or behavioral patterns.
