Hypnotherapy is both a series of techniques and way of approaching challenges that can help college-age students, teenagers and pre-teens overcome a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns. This form of therapy uses the power of hypnosis to access the subconscious mind, where negative thoughts, fears, and habits are often rooted so they can be overcome and set the person on a fulfilling path.

With the right blend of hypnotherapy, NLP and coaching, individuals can profoundly reduce or eliminate their anxiety, learn to relax on their own, and feel more confident and in control. Similarly, hypnotherapy can be beneficial for those who are struggling with feelings of depression. By addressing the underlying emotional causes (trauma, bullying, body image, feeling subpar, etc.) and breaking the cycle of looping thought, a person can shift to hopeful, motivated, and engaged in life.

Mental toughness and resilience is one of the most significant outputs of the work, which is useful for those facing regular high-pressure situations in academics, performances, public speaking and in athletic competitions. By learning to focus their minds, manage their emotions, be sufficiently calm, and mentally rehearse follow-through, athletes can perform at their best.

I can directly address test-taking anxiety, panic and freezing, and sudden memory "loss." I have helped students with routine tests and finals as well as weightier exams including the PSAT, SAT, ACT, AP exams, and those for medical school, law school and passing licensing exams. Once a neutral feeling is established, I practice techniques to dramatically expand memory retention and recall to aid in boosting scores.

Hypnotherapy can also be used to improve or eliminate bad habits such as smoking, vaping, marijuana, overeating, and procrastination when the person wants these put to rest.
