You're Not Looking for Average Therapy
Hypnotherapy as Part of Weekly Therapy
HypnoTHERAPY is deep healing psychotherapy combined with light trance to help you more quickly discover where the trauma, hurt, and confusion live. I don't offer stand-alone hypnosis sessions like a traditional hypnotist would. It works so well because inducing a wakeful, light trance state before entering your deeper well of emotion keeps your nervous system calm. Instead of approaching your pain directly, we go in via the backdoor, which is a calmer, less overwhelming way to brings in much more clarity about the situation.
In mainstream culture, hypnosis is often misunderstood as a passive shortcut... a modality where you simply lie back, close your eyes, and wait for a practitioner to dissolve your pain while you drift away. But if you are navigating the heavy aftermath of PTSD, severe grief, a history of abuse or chronic illness/pain - a disengaged approach it may sound attractive to disengage and let your mind be re-programmed, but that's not actually what works.
Hypnosis is safe. Comfortable. It quickly calms a reactive nervous system. It leaves you with a feeling that all is well.
Your deepest fears and hurts just don't hurt as much.

What It Feels Like (and Yes! You Can Be Hypnotized)
A common worry is, "What if I’m the one person this won't work on?" But in over 25 years of practice, I have never met a single person who couldn’t enter a hypnotic state.
Hypnosis isn't about being knocked out or losing control. It is a specific kind of guided relaxation. You already know what it feels like... it's that quiet state you experience when you're just waking up but haven’t quite re-entered the world yet.
When we begin, your brain naturally shifts gears from daily chatter into a calmer, more spacious rhythm. Your body rests, but your mind becomes vividly alive. You'll be in complete control of yourself and your own mind. You'll still be able to talk with me so that we can work together to do the heavy emotional clearing you need. This is the kind of healing that ordinary talk therapy simply cannot touch.

The Way I Work
\I provide comprehensive, weekly psychotherapy with includes hypnotherapy. I integrate hypnosis with other trauma therapies, so they all work together seamlessly - and more effectively than hypnosis alone. I specialize in PTSD, complex trauma, all forms of childhood and family abuse, assault, anxiety, depression, OCD, and other deeply rooted patterns. I don't offer hypnotherapy as a stand-alone service because I've found that healing is far more lasting when combined with other neurobiological and experiential modalities.
