Hypnotherapists in Edmonton, AB
In a world that’s increasingly automated, performative, and AI driven, I look to create a space, above all else, that’s honest and accepting of the individual and all of their contradictions. While I can understand the value of a “safe space”, space with me prioritizes courage over comfort, as I have witnessed the most growth when all parts of ourselves are approached. My aim is to help clients feel more alive and complete within themselves. I primarily use IFS, somatic, and psychodynamic therapy. I am also trained in EMDR, hypnosis, mindfulness, psychedelic integration, and psychodrama, and suggest and apply these when appropriate.

Let's face it, regular talk therapy isn't cutting it for men. You don't want to waste your time and money with someone that probably won't understand what you're going through. At the same time, you know that you can't go on like this....you haven't been like yourself lately....you have no motivation, not enjoying your regular hobbies, more irritable, and feeling so easily overwhelmed lately. You're unsure if talking about it is going to change anything though. You just need some skills and tools to help you make some changes so you can get back to your old self.

Often times in life we can experience personal challenges. These challenges can include losses and trauma. They can leave us feeling anxious or depressed. Counselling can help one make sense of what they have been through. Times of struggle and loss can force us to look inward to re evaluate what has meaning for us and perhaps find out what is our purpose. I have experience working with CAF, First Responders and Vets, as well as people who have experienced childhood trauma. Whatever the challenge we can work together to help you heal and come into wholeness.

Psychotherapy creates a safe place where issues and difficulties can be put on the table and looked at - with no judgement, with patience and courage. My job is to help you face and accept yourself, to take responsibility for your self in a way that safeguards your integrity. Psychotherapy is private. Psychotherapy should help you look closely at the tough stuff. It is not always easy but it should honour both your humanness and your dignity. There is a Paul Preston out there that advocates spanking (that's not me).

Grief has knocked you off balance, your emotions fluctuate day to day. The sudden change hits you, turning everything upside down, and you feel like you're on a rollercoaster. The most tangible thing you feel is emptiness, and it's hard to imagine anything ever filling it. Sad and lonely, you can't do ordinary tasks (or get out of bed, for that matter). It's hard to "move on" when you feel this way. You know you'll have to find new ways of coping, but it doesn't seem fair. Understandably, you're angry about it, and you might even feel guilty about that.

Do you or your child struggle with focus, managing emotions, or self talk? Do you ever wish you could perform your best when it matter most? As a former elite athlete and coach, I can personally relate to these struggles. I truly believe that with the right set of skills, people can take steps to improve not only their athletic or creative performance, but also their overall quality of life. My goal is to help people do exactly that, and help unlock confidence, self awareness, insight, as well as the belief and ability to recognize your truest potential along the way.

My main goal is to provide a warm, accepting and nurturing environment in which my clients can explore their vulnerable places and grow from them. Often our life circumstances, or even those of our parents and grand-parents, have led us to mistaken beliefs about ourselves, our worth, and our place in life. When we examine these beliefs in a realistic and compassionate manner, we find ways to change that we never believed were possible for us. I have witnessed many such changes over the years, and I believe that a full and happy life is possible for all of us.

How does hypnotherapy work?
Hypnotherapy works by using guided hypnosis to help you reach a state of focus and concentration through mental imagery and soothing verbal repetition. The state is somewhat like being absorbed in a book, a movie, or your own thoughts. You are not under a therapist’s “control,” but they can help you relax and turn your attention inward to discover the resources to achieve behavior change or better manage psychological concerns. Therapy sessions may involve guiding you through recognizing a problem, releasing problematic thoughts about it, and considering and accepting more productive alternatives before returning to normal awareness. Hypnotherapy is typically used by a therapist along with traditional forms of talk therapy. Eventually, your therapist can help you learn hypnotherapy techniques yourself so you can establish a stronger sense of control on your own in stressful or challenging moments.
Is hypnotherapy the same as hypnosis?
Hypnotherapy, which is sometimes called hypnotic suggestion, is a therapeutic technique in which a therapist uses hypnosis to help patients. It is not the kind of hypnosis portrayed in stage shows, or in movies or on television. You will not be unconscious or asleep during hypnotherapy, you will not lose control of yourself, your thoughts, or your free will, and you will be able to fully recall your experience. And while you will hear your therapist’s suggestions, it is always up to you to decide whether to act on them. Hypnosis by a trained mental-health professional is not a form of mind control, which is impossible to achieve anyway.
Can everyone be hypnotized?
The most common challenge of hypnotherapy is that as many as one in four people cannot be hypnotized. Brain imaging has confirmed differences in patterns of brain connectivity between those who respond to hypnotism and those who do not. Other people who could potentially be hypnotized may not respond to the technique because of their skepticism or resistance to entering a hypnotic state. If a therapist’s “post-hypnotic suggestion” is effective, it’s because they are suggesting something you want to achieve.
Does hypnotherapy work?
Through hypnotherapy, you can achieve changes that are real and sustainable. Like other talk therapy techniques, when hypnotherapy succeeds, it’s a case of mind over matter. Effective hypnotherapy involves self-healing because you access resources you need to change inside of yourself and learn how to tap into them whenever you need. Hypnotherapy has been shown to be an effective therapy for anxiety, phobias, stress, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual dysfunction, and undesirable behaviors like smoking. It can be used to help improve sleep or to address relationship challenges, and to aid with pain management, digestive disorders, skin conditions, and the gastrointestinal side effects of pregnancy or chemotherapy.
