In my practice, I use clinical hypnotherapy to help clients resolve issues of emotional trauma, overcome bad habits and self-defeating behaviors, and deal with any other issues interfering with their lives, work, or relationships. Hypnotherapy is invaluable for weight loss, smoking cessation, chronic pain management, drug dependency, and self-esteem issues, including non-medical impotence and low libido. Because clinical hypnosis accesses the subconscious directly, it is extremely effective in the treatment of psychosomatic issues and fears. For example, I also work with dentists' patients who have severe phobic issues with dentistry or who are unable to tolerate anesthesia.

I particularly enjoy clients who are motivated to create change in their lives. Often crisis or exasperation brings us to the place where we know we have to change. Awareness and consciousness are the primary ingredients needed for real change in our individual lives. We are all far more important to others and have far more potential than we realize. My job is to awaken that awareness in my client. No matter where you are starting, your strength is in the desire to start.
