Anxiety is the feeling that you cannot handle a situation you perceive as threatening. The source of anxiety is often unconscious. Untreated anxiety can eventually lead to panic attacks. Anxiety is experienced in the body and mind. I specialize in treating generalized anxiety, pain attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, and phobias. I frequently use hypnosis to uncover and address the unconscious root cause of the anxiety, and resolve any unconscious conflict contributing to the problem.

Depression is the slowing or shutting down of everyday functions as a result of the depletion of internal resources. It's often associated with self-degrading negative thoughts, feeling hopeless and helpless, loss of motivation, fatigue, mental slowing, and the shutdown of basic biological drives such as appetite and sex drive. Sadness may be part of the experience, but sometimes the depressed person may not feel anything. Depression can predispose you to be more vulnerable to physical illness.

I use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Hypnosis to treat depression.

Addiction is a mental and physical dependency on using certain chemical substances (e.g., drugs, food, cigarettes) or certain behaviors (e.g., sex, gambling) that disrupts a person's life. I treat addictions using an integration of 12-step approaches with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Clinical Hypnosis.

My approach to couples counseling is solution focused. I initially evaluate each partner’s commitment to the relationship and motivation to work on improving it. Without both partner's commitment, couples therapy is unlikely to be effective. I do couples hypnosis to facilitate relaxation of defenses, relationship repair bonding and focusing. It's fun and effective. I invite you and your partner to join me for a fun session of couples hypnosis.

Clinical Hypnosis is a procedure during which I give you carefully worded suggestions to guide you into a focused state of relaxed attention and temporarily quiet your critical mind. The doorway to your subconscious mind opens and I provide information that your subconscious mind understands and readily accepts. I also use hypnosis to uncover the root causes of pesky problems that don't want to go away.

DBT is a form of CBT that focuses on feelings and skill building. When I do DBT, I teach Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotional Regulation and Interpersonal Effectiveness. DBT is flexible. The way I do DBT you learn how to become more aware. In fact, I coined the acronym A.W.A.R.E. which stands for "Accepting" yourself with all your faults, "Watching" your immediate experience, "Adjusting" your thinking and behavior, "Releasing" emotional burdens, and "Envisioning" a new and happier you.
