Psychotherapy is about listening. As a therapist I strive to listen with compassion and depth to help my clients hear their own voices of change and healing.
How I understand psychotherapy to work is best expressed by Simone Weil:
"Those who are unhappy have no need for anything in this world but people capable of giving them their attention. The capacity to give one's attention to a sufferer is a very rare and difficult thing; it is almost a miracle; it is a miracle."
I surely cannot do miracles! But together with my clients I have watched miracles happen.

My ideal client is an adult who feels worn down by anxiety, depression, trauma, or chronic stress and is ready for things to feel different. They may be someone carrying experiences that still show up in daily life, sleep, relationships, or their sense of self. They have unexplained worry and doubt that seemingly came out of nowhere. Either way, they want relief, clarity, and a better understanding of their internal world—not just coping, but meaningful change and a renewed sense of control.

EMDR trained, IFS trained, Certified in Mother-Daughter Attachment, Transformational Life Coach, Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TSA), & Hypnotherapy.
She's stopped talking to you. She's alive but feels dead in your life, she is your mom and you are living with ambiguous loss. You hear about her and maybe sometimes you hear from her. It's really complicated, confusing and painful. As a woman who leads and has done therapy, coaching, self-help, you still feel a familiar struggle inside. You're accomplished, self-aware, yet you rehash the past constantly, and it's draining the light in you. Something keeps happening in your relationships with other women. This pull to distrust, to please, to brace for disappointment is part of losing that maternal support and becoming unmothered.

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.
