"Parts Work" (or IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, & Somatic work to release trauma and emotional memories held in the body.
Some patterns have a way of repeating again and again. Talk therapy/CBT can give us INSIGHT but seldom change issues permanently. In order to free the pain for good, you probably need something more. With 15 years in this work, I've learned to follow hidden threads in the subconscious to unbind all the upsetting feelings, behaviors and hurtful states that need to go. Your system has been trying to whisper the answers in your ear. I'll teach you to hear it. The truth is, you've been wearing the ruby slippers all along. Don't expect the same old kind of therapy, here. You may surprise yourself with what you can do to change your life.

Often, when we experience abuse, trauma, or hardship we learn the best way to protect ourselves is to put on a mask, hide, pretend or please others. We find safety in these coping mechanisms and after a while we lose sight of who we really are. But that real person is still there waiting for the day you're ready to do more than survive. This is where I come in. My calling is to aid those who are scared to be seen find the freedom to fully know, understand and reclaim who they truly are, as well as, build fully authentic and connected relationships with others.

I work from a person-centered approach, which means you’re steering this thing and I’m in the passenger seat calling out the blind spots.

You're successful, capable, and used to figuring things out. But lately something feels off. The stress doesn't leave. The mind won't quiet. You're more reactive than you'd like to be with your partner, your kids, yourself.
Many of the people I work with have spent years trying to understand why regardless of doing everything right, they feel this way. My approach goes beyond symptoms to understand the deeper patterns contributing to stress, anxiety, burnout, and disconnection. By considering the brain, body, relationships, and life experiences that shape wellbeing, we can begin creating meaningful and lasting change.

My ideal clients are thoughtful, caring adults who feel overwhelmed, exhausted, stuck, or disconnected after years of stress, trauma, caregiving, grief, or major life transitions. Many have spent so much time caring for others that they have lost touch with their own needs and well-being. They come to therapy seeking relief from anxiety, depression, burnout, or the lasting effects of difficult experiences. Together, we identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck, build practical skills for healing and resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change that supports a more balanced and fulfilling life.

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.
