Are you stressed, anxious, or depressed even though life seems great to others? Do you sometimes feel like your thoughts are controlling you instead of the other way around? Have you tried every suggestion and self-help book you could and nothing makes a big difference or lasts? If so, you are not alone and working collaboratively with you, I can help. I work with clients to increase their well-being, achieve goals, and better manage life's challenges. I know you have the innate capacity to heal old wounds and manage new difficulties -and by working together, we can renew those skills and install new, fresh, and effective ones. Healing comes from within but sometimes is elusive. The therapist's job is to provide direction, an objective ear, and compassion on the road to experiencing more freedom and joy in your life.

Either way, I am here to collaborate with your best self and bring that self front and center. I provide HIPPA compliant online therapy as well after an initial visit for those residing in VA/MD.

Facing the stressors of daily life activities can be daunting in the best of circumstances.

Have you tried traditional talk therapy and felt like something was missing? Your subconscious mind is a vast rich source of emotional healing and transformation. Since your subconscious mind operates like an "auto pilot", using hypnosis can help you to absorb the information your subconscious mind needs to help you heal. Your subconscious mind wants to help you, but many times it doesn't understand what you really want, or how to give it to you, which is exactly why hypnosis can be extremely valuable tool to change your life for the better.

Therapy is a collaboration; together we'll set treatment goals, work toward those goals and evaluate our progress.
