Hypnosis is a tool just like a hammer - what really matters is whose hand its in!

...and that is what makes Dr. Eric so unique. A graduate of the prestigious Harvard Mind-Body Institute, Dr. Eric brings the latest in neuro-science and research into his work.

"Dr. Eric is one of the most innovative clinicians I know. He gets to the core of an issue very quickly and helps people in a non-jugemental way. He is very gentle and caring for his clients as he incorporates state of the art knowledge in neuro-science into his practice and draws from many different disciplines to ensure his clients receive the highest quality of care. He is an amazing guy.
