You may look like you’re holding everything together while privately feeling anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, disconnected, or stuck. Perhaps trauma, difficult relationships, parenting stress, depression, or a major life change has made it harder to feel like yourself. We work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families who want more than temporary relief. They want to understand what’s happening, heal what’s underneath it, and create meaningful change.

Let’s be real—figuring out who you are, especially when it comes to sex, identity, relationships, and emotions, can be a lot. Maybe you’re feeling confused, anxious, stuck, or like no one really gets what you’re going through. Maybe something happened that you’re not sure how to talk about. Or maybe you just have so many questions and nowhere safe to ask them.
That’s where I come in.

I specialize in anxiety, stress, and women’s issues, using somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems, and hypnotherapy.
You are the one everyone calls when something goes wrong. You say yes when you want to say no, replay conversations, and stay on high alert even when you’re resting. You’ve built a successful life but feel exhausted from holding it all together. I work with high-achieving women in North Carolina who are overthinking, people-pleasing, and overfunctioning. Together, we calm your nervous system first, because you can’t think your way out of a body stuck in survival mode. Then we loosen old patterns, set boundaries without guilt, and build a life that feels steady, not just impressive.

For years you've been the one who holds everything together. The planner, the fixer, the steady one everyone relies on. On the outside, you look like you have it all together, but inside you’re stuck in cycles of overthinking, guilt, and second‑guessing yourself. You might be tired of being the “strong one,” or you’re realizing your boundaries disappear the moment someone else needs you. I work with adults who feel stretched thin by anxiety, self‑doubt, and relationship patterns that leave them drained, resentful, or unsure who they are outside of helping others.

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.
