About
I became the hypnotherapist I needed.
Long before I became a psychotherapist, I experienced firsthand how powerfully the mind can influence the body. Anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain, fatigue and emotional distress taught me that many of our greatest struggles happen outside of conscious awareness. That journey led me to spend the last 20 years training in person with internationally respected clinicians and teachers in psychotherapy, hypnosis, meditation, stress physiology and mind-body communication.
Today I integrate clinical hypnosis into insight-oriented psychotherapy to help people overcome anxiety, trauma, panic attacks, flashbacks, nightmares, chronic pain, insomnia, unwanted habits, confidence issues and other patterns that seem resistant to willpower alone.
Rather than simply teaching techniques to manage symptoms, I use hypnosis to help people understand and work with the unconscious processes that often maintain them. Sessions are conversational, collaborative and tailored to your individual goals. Many clients are surprised to discover that hypnosis is not about losing control, but about gaining greater awareness, insight and influence over the patterns that have been holding them back.
Whether you're seeking relief from a specific problem or looking to create lasting personal change, hypnosis can become a powerful part of that journey.
