Theoretical Influences that Guide My Work

The therapist that have influenced me the most are Milton Erickson who was an expert in patterns interruption, and Dr. Michael Yapko who trained me in clinical hypnosis and with whom I consult every month as he is a skillful positive solution focused therapist who use clinical hypnosis as a tool to enhance therapy. I have been also greatly influenced by the work of Jay Haley.
