Step out into freedom and embrace the life you were born to live! Is fear running your life? Do you hide the “real you” from family & friends? Discover the courage to be who you truly are! Many people dealing with anxiety, depression and gender and sexuality issues feel they are missing out on life. Clients I work with often report feeling alone and afraid to reach out for help. They no longer want to hide who they are, yet also feel stuck moving forward due to lack of support or fear of judgement. My passion is to help you ditch the shame and find freedom to love the person in the mirror despite the opinions of others.

Life can feel overwhelming. Past experiences can shape our present view of life, thoughts, and behaviors as well as impact the future. Trauma is not a theirs is worse than mine experience, we each experience and react like the amazingly unique beings we are. Feelings like shame, guilt, embarrassment are just a few of the residual emotions left by traumatic experiences. Those can create an unhealthy view of ourselves and can lead to a decline in mental health. Overcoming negative life experiences can be similar to opening the curtains making the dark disappear and letting the light back in our lives.

Shame is never a motivator. Many of your issues may be rooted in shame that you never even realized. Shame can take on many forms; pressure to live up to other's expectations of us, pressure to perform at the rate those around us seem to be, or pressure to live up to our own impossible standards we have created for ourselves. When these measures are not met, we can feel depleted, discouraged, and even hopeless. Or perhaps we have been verbally told by others (either past or present) they were disappointed in us or we weren't good enough. And we cannot seem to escape these defeating and destructive thoughts.

I enjoy helping clients get out of survival mode using brain-based, nervous system therapy. Many people I work with describe feeling stuck in survival mode, where their body never fully relaxes and their emotions feel either too intense or completely numb. I specialize in helping pre/teens/young adults calm their nervous systems and find relief from anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and trauma-related symptoms using brain-based, experiential approaches. My work is grounded in trauma treatment, but we move at a pace that feels safe and manageable without needing to relive painful experiences over and over.

I specialize in trauma-informed, mind-body healing using EMDR, clinical hypnotherapy, somatic and inner child work, and ketamine-assisted therapy.
You may feel stuck in patterns your mind understands but your body won’t release. Trauma, chronic stress, or early relational wounds may live in your nervous system as anxiety, numbness, shutdown, or feeling disconnected from yourself. You’re tired of “just talking” and want healing that actually shifts things. Through trauma-informed, mind-body, somatic, and inner child work, we focus on restoring safety, regulation, and connection—so younger parts can finally be heard and lasting change can occur.

My life feels like chaos! How can I get past my past? How can I save my marriage? How can I achieve my goals in life? These are common issues that bring people into counseling. To borrow a quote from Coach Wooden "although there is no progress without change, not all change is progress." Getting started can feel uncomfortable at first but usually as you proceed most people are engaged, energized, and feeling the benefits. My style is such that it does not feel like therapy - rather someone you know who has been down this road as well.

I use state-of-the art approaches, tailored to your unique needs: Talk therapy, Brainspotting; EMDR; Body Centered; Parts Work, Meditative/Spiritual approaches and Hypnotherapy.
Often the people who are drawn to work with me have done a lot of inner work already – yet something still feels missing or hasn’t fully shifted. Some may be looking for something that goes deeper and helps clear remaining issues and triggers. Or, perhaps, there’s a longing for spiritual connection. I’ve found that understanding things intellectually often isn’t enough to fully resolve what’s held in the body or nervous system - whether that shows up as unhealed trauma, anxiety, looping thoughts, depression, physical symptoms or tension. As a seasoned therapist, in practice over 45 years, I have the experience and tools to help

Clients basically need to talk things through - their struggles in life and how these struggles have been affecting them on a negative level. Building rapport and trust is the number one goal in the beginning of welcoming the client to help ease the fear of sharing the struggle.

HypnoTherapy
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.
