I have two decades of experience in the behavioral sciences as a clinician and educator. Over the years my approach to clients has evolved from psychotherapy to creative problem-solving. I have found that many clients struggle not necessarily with “mental disorders” but with ineffective mental strategies. The mind doesn’t come with a user’s manual. But you can learn to use your mind. The mind is the user-interface for your neurosomatic (brain-body) system, similar to the screen of an iPhone or computer. Although we have limitless potential, we need the proper apps (mental strategies) to utilize that potential.
I assist clients in getting their minds to work for them instead of against them. The fact is, the mind evolved as a tool to do precisely this. It is a natural problem-solving machine that uses creative forethought (active imagination) to gain adaptive advantages. But distracted by the sheer novelty of consciousness, we rarely exercise this potential.
That’s one of the reasons we dream. And that’s why I use hypnosis and dreams or techniques derived from their study. Problems persist because we are state-bounded beings; you have limitless potential but limited access to the mindbody-states in which that potential resides. My work promotes the liberation of that potential for wholeness, joy, and freedom.
