HYPNOTHERAPY APPROACH
The course of therapy I use to help you heal or perform at your best varies by your circumstances and goals. My techniques include regression, desensitization, grounding, crossroads therapy, envisioning, dreamwork and Gestalt.
The Whole Person
Bad Habits
The will to change is not always sufficient to make
change. Motivated clients benefit from exposing the underlying issues why they cannot seem to permanently stop behaviors. Then, they receive post-hypnotic suggestions to break the cycle. However, it is not
usually necessary to unravel the entire complicated 'you' to achieve your targets.
Weight Loss & Food Control
Difficulties losing and maintaining lower weight are often multi-headed issues. We discuss your intentions, well-being, and lifestyle before moving to hypnosis. We want to improve rather than inhibit your metabolism in this mind-body pursuit of ideal weight. Read this article from The Oprah Magazine.

Overcoming Fears & Traumas
With hypnosis, you will enjoy a profound reduction in the intensity of emotions and incapacitation you are experiencing. We may use techniques referred to as systematic desensitization or dissociation. More
Anxieties: Health, Financial, Performance
Inner Sanctuary – A Place for Calm
Having a comfortable mind space to go to when you feel overwhelmed or are preping for an important moment like public speaking or a key golf shot pays dividends. We develop your "inner sanctuary" and practice what some people call grounding.
Meaning of Money
Is money about security, status or a means to enjoy yourself? How does your family or your partner think about money? A better understanding of its role and how you would like to utilize your finances will position you to overcome and succeed in tough times.
Performance
What stops us from realizing our best-performing selves is rarely our abilities. A fear of failure or rejection/criticism are the more usual culprits. Hypnosis brings our fears into focus so they can be dealt with or discarded and then commit ourselves fully.
Pain Management
All Pain is Real
Pain is a physical sensation generated by the brain and can limit our ability to live or perform the way we want. Pain may cause us to feel anxious, fearful, angry, disappointed, helpless, purposeless, frustrated, guilty, or shameful. These emotions can actually heighten the pain itself. Hypnosis, whether with the help of a therapist or self-directed, provides an opportunity for substantial relief. It ends the vicious pain loop. (I have suffered from chronic back pain and can attest to the value of hypnosis.)
Reshaping Pain
We develop your ability to reduce sudden acute pain and low-level chronic or recurring pain. Hypnohealing techniques include progressively dismantling and reshaping pain, deep relaxation, glove analgesia, parts therapy, plus addressing emotional or stress triggers and addressing any secondary gains from pain. We may have you practice self-hypnosis to continue your healing outside of our sessions.
Suffering is a Choice
Pain is inevitable, but suffering is a choice. It's natural to want to avoid pain, but pain is part of living and in some cases, pain is expected - consider childbirth, physical goal attainment, healing from illness, and medical procedures. You will detach from or dilute pain through techniques including post-hypnotic suggestions. We will also cover your lifestyle choices which impact your overall health.
Smoking / Vaping Cessation Program
Unique & Highly-Effective Approach
My program is unique and more effective than most other hypnotherapists'. Since routine is the enemy of quitting smoking/vaping, we detail out that routine and turn it inside out...and only then begin hypnosis.
In my expanded program, we have time to review and often resolve root causes of your habit. We review these commonly intertwined issues and prioritize positive change together to support your choice to stop.
The cessation program is a multi-session journey and a small price to pay for your long-term health and far less costly than the habit itself. Schedule a 20min consultation to learn more.
Multi-Session Program: [Inquire for Pricing]
The program spans an approximate 2-week timeframe and includes:
- Routine analysis and alterations
- Multiple hypnosis sessions
- Check-ins by the therapist between sessions
- Reinforcement session(s), if desired
Dreamwork
Gestalt Dreamwork
If you have vivid or lucid dreams, we may use Gestalt character "roleplay" to work through emotional or decision blocks. Gestalt differs from dream analysis as Gestalt considers dreams metaphors and doesn't require pinpointing a dream's meaning to be useful.
Hypnotic Dreamwork™
As an extension of Gestalt, I may use deepening techniques to further uncover relevance of a dream to resolve inner conflicts and craft post-hypnotic suggestions.
Guided Hypnodream
While in hypnosis, we use your imagination to allow your subconscious to raise and work through issues or explore alternate paths so you will make your own best choices.
We don’t accept insurance (almost no hypnotherapists do). This will be a significant investment in yourself.
