Are you exhausted and overwhelmed? Tired of going at it alone? You’ve spent years navigating spaces where you didn’t quite feel like you belonged. The perfectionism, people-pleasing, and hyper-independence kept you safe and left your nervous system exhausted. As someone who hasn't quite felt like you fit in, you long for a place to exhale, feel seen, and build secure, authentic question. Healing starts when you no longer have to do it alone. We specialize in supporting you, your family, and your relationships. We're a queer centered and straight friendly practice.

My range of expertise, including talk psychotherapy, clinical hypnotherapy, mindfulness practices, and trauma-informed approaches are all tailored to meet your specific needs, and reach your desired outcomes.
You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or no longer recognize this version of yourself. Perhaps you're feeling generally dissatisfied. Maybe you've tried "fixing" problems with limited results. Therapy is about understanding who you are and prioritizing what you actually need in the present with realistic expectations, while fostering growth in a meaningful and sustainable way. Stress, perceived failure, and/or hopelessness don't have to define you. Our lived experiences inform, not define. I will help you build upon your existing strengths and prioritize what is actually important to you to better participate in your life.

I have 25 years of experience working with all age groups, couples, families, adolescents, the elderly, and people of all races, where I use CBT as a base and add other modalities as needed. I believe each person is an individual who cannot be put into a 'one-size-fits-all' box. I believe a commitment to patience over time can lead to significant growth and understanding of oneself. Mindfulness, Carl Jung's Shadow Work, and Negative Core Beliefs can lead to changes that offer a completely new way of living and thriving.

Hypnotherapy Therapists
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.
