I draws from my certifications in Cognitive Hypnotherapy, NLP, & Family Systems to introduce & expand clients’ internal and external resources for healing and growth.
Perhaps you’re on the verge of burnout and have been overwhelmed by the never-ending alterations of life. Or you find yourself floating between fear and focus, constantly feeling like you aren’t enough and recognize the effects showing up in your relationships. Maybe you’ve discovered that you’re ready to step into your role as the lead of your life and require additional support and guidance to do so. In my 10 years of helping relationships, I immediately recognized the satisfaction I felt in supporting clients mental and emotional healing while also fulfilling the high demand for diverse and inclusive counselors in all sectors.

"Parts Work" (or IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, & Somatic work to release trauma and emotional memories held in the body.
I have one opening 6/6/25. Have you spent years in 'talk therapy', without seeing much change? It’s probably time to try something new. Psychologists are learning there's a better way to heal. Deep wounds can't be reached with talk-therapy alone. Experiential Therapy is a newer multidimensional approach. We'll take a gentle, deep look at the sub-conscious imprints in the body, heart, mind, and soul levels to find where the pain lies. I am a master therapist with 15 years clinical experience. I see adults for individual work. Sessions are 65 minutes long, with free text check-ins 24/7. OON insurance is accepted!

Specifically, I use a process of emotion and event reprocessing, which incorporates elements of EMDR, hypnotherapy, and shamanic intuitive insights.
My approach is to help clients become free of their emotional overreactions (especially recurring upsets) and break free from the grip of their past wounds. I also work to help identify conditioning and beliefs that my clients have inherited from their families which are NOT consistent with their own core nature. It's all about becoming more authentic. I believe that the more true to ourselves we become, without the old wounds, conditioning, and societal pressures (such as needing to be seen as a nice guy/girl or needing approval from others) then the more whole and joyful we become in our everyday lives.

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.
