With an Ericksonian style hypnosis model of therapy to access the unconscious mind, you have to distract the conscious mind. Indirect suggestions have a greater likelihood of being accepted by the unconscious and helping the person make natural, sustainable changes.

Using an eclectic model, the clinician can assess the unique, individual needs of each client to decide which approach is best. The clinician can pull from a variety of techniques such as mindful based therapy, cognitive therapy, sensory therapy or more to help find the best combination of therapeutic tools to help a client.

CBT focuses on and promotes adaptive changes in the thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and behaviors of the client. To change your perspective is to change your mood and in turn change the outcome.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can create a cycle of intrusive thoughts, anxiety, doubt, and compulsive behaviors that can feel exhausting and difficult to control. Treatment focuses on helping you understand the OCD cycle, reduce the power and urgency of intrusive thoughts, and build confidence in your ability to tolerate uncertainty without relying on compulsions or reassurance.

Depression can affect far more than mood—it can impact motivation, energy, sleep, relationships, concentration, self-esteem, and the ability to find pleasure in things that once felt meaningful. When you’re struggling, even everyday responsibilities can feel overwhelming. Therapy provides a supportive space to understand what may be contributing to depression and begin creating meaningful change. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, ACT, and strengths focused therapy.

Anxiety can leave you feeling constantly “on,” overwhelmed by what-ifs, or caught in a cycle of worry, overthinking, avoidance, and physical tension. It can affect sleep, concentration, relationships, confidence, and your ability to fully enjoy the present moment. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to understand your anxiety and learn how to respond to it differently.
