"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become."
— Guatama Buddha

This quote reflects my psychological approach to the problems people bring to me. My approach is as pragmatic as it is philosophical, as caring as it is confrontational and as serious as it is humorous. This may sound contradictory but life is not linear and therapy is a microcosm of life. The relationship that develops between a therapist and the client is the heart of the engine of change that defines therapy.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

​Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Fascinating research has been done on this subject by a research psychologist, Dr Olafur Palsson, at the University of NC at Chapel Hill. I consulted with Dr Palsson and he gave me the treatment protocol used in his study.  I have seen wonderful results with my own patients. I have also consulted with gastroenterologists about the use of hypnosis to help IBS patients. ​
