You’re exhausted, but your mind won’t shut off. I provide telehealth CBT-I for professionals with chronic insomnia, helping calm an overactive nervous system through evidence-based treatment and optional self-hypnosis skills to support downregulation and sleep. If you’ve tried sleep hygiene, apps, supplements, or forcing yourself to relax (with little success), you’re not alone — and you’re not broken. Insomnia isn’t a willpower problem. It’s a learning problem — and it is treatable.

As a practicing depth psychologist, I primarily utilize techiniques such as Jungian Analysis, Art Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Freudian, and Vedic Astrology to access the underlying, often unconscious, intrapsychic conflicts that cause suffering in the human condition.
With over 25 years in the mental health field and 18 years in private practice, I offer a multitude of personal and professional experience. Much of our suffering is due to dissatisfaction in relationships. Sadly, many relationships end prematurely when we are most hurt and emotionally vulnerable. However, this is when the intimacy we lacked prior has the potential to break through finally. I give you tools and insight to heal old wounds that hold you back from experiencing the love you seek within yourself and others. Together we address the intrapsychic conflicts and longings of the soul. Licensed in WI and NC.

I use psychodynamic techniques like dream analysis, free association, transference interpretation, impulse control modification, and hypnotherapy.
I help people who are looking for healing that goes beyond short term support or symptom relief to a deeper understanding of the whole person. I don't just help people change behaviors and their lives, but I help them figure out why these symptoms appeared in the first place by uncovering the unconscious reasoning behind patient's thoughts and actions rooted in their unconscious minds and help them change those thoughts/behaviors so they can change their lives and walk in their genuine identity. I help people be who they really are by caring for and cultivating healing in their spirits and minds.

Hypnotherapy Therapists
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.
