I combine a variety of methods, including EMDR, Inner Child Healing, Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy, Nature Awareness, Body Awareness, and so much more.
My gift is to set the stage so you experience your deepest well being, free from all emotional upset. Since studying and practicing trauma resolution methods, and understanding the latest brain research, I have developed a unique psychotherapeutic modality,, The Connection Method™. It permanently resolves traumatic experiences and mood disorders. It is a system that goes beyond managing stress, depression, anxiety, impulsivity, psychosomatic illnesses etc. Instead, it transforms them at their core so you can live your full potential. I enjoy working with individuals of the most varied backgrounds, as I myself am from 4 countries.

I combine eye movement therapy, hypnotherapy, internal family systems and yoga for an experience that is even more powerful and holistic than the sum of its individual parts.
Are you being held back in your career or relationship goals by uncontrollable fears or stress? Do you need solutions fast so that more time isn’t lost to overwhelm, self-doubt and failed relationships? What if you had the confidence and freedom to easily face it all? Finally move in a new direction with a Transformation Therapy Intensive (TTI). Become unstoppable when you keep the wisdom gained from past challenges, but lose the associated pain. A TTI is to regular talk therapy what a plane ride is to a bike ride, getting you much further much faster, and living with joy. Your future is waiting.

You want to think like you have it “altogether” but deep down you are struggling with the challenging experiences that have occurred in your life. You may be tired of anxiety, sleepless nights, sadness, anger outbursts and then guilt and thinking that you are not good enough, or worthless. You may not even remember a time when things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to be able to go places, do things, sleep at night and no more anger outbursts, anxiety or sadness. Most of all, you want to let go of the past, happier relationships and a live a more joyful life.

I am certified in healthy living to include Hypnotherapy specifically.
Most people just want to be heard. They want to know that someone is listening to them and someone cares. Further, most of us contain the answers to our questions. We simply need someone to support us and remind us of our great worth and value. Within this environment of support we are able to discover within ourselves what we have been lacking, where we are in need and what will improve our lives. You are capable, you can do this! I wish to congratulate you on coming this far, you are not alone and there is not something “wrong” with you. Actually, there are some great attributes within or you would not have had the courage.

My goal is to help my client's live happier, healthier, more successful lives. Many of my clients come to me for pain management when nothing else has worked to resolve their pain and they are ready to get their life back. Other clients come to me experiencing fears such as aerophobia or agoraphobia, or they may be experiencing chronic stress or anxious feelings and they want to be able to live a happier, healthier, more successful life.

Waitlist for new clients
Traditional talk therapy is certainly a helpful part of the healing journey but I also incorporate "bottom up" practices including somatic processing, energy psychology, and hypnotherapy.
Joy is our birthright and whether you feel like your life needs a few tweaks to feel fulfilling again, or life is feeling deeply distressing, psychotherapy can help. Having someone you trust bear witness to your process of integrating life's challenges and triumphs, and partner with you so you can return to your natural state of joy, is what I believe psychotherapy is all about.

HypnoTherapy
How does hypnotherapy work?
Hypnotherapy works by using guided hypnosis to help you reach a state of focus and concentration through mental imagery and soothing verbal repetition. The state is somewhat like being absorbed in a book, a movie, or your own thoughts. You are not under a therapist’s “control,” but they can help you relax and turn your attention inward to discover the resources to achieve behavior change or better manage psychological concerns. Therapy sessions may involve guiding you through recognizing a problem, releasing problematic thoughts about it, and considering and accepting more productive alternatives before returning to normal awareness. Hypnotherapy is typically used by a therapist along with traditional forms of talk therapy. Eventually, your therapist can help you learn hypnotherapy techniques yourself so you can establish a stronger sense of control on your own in stressful or challenging moments.
Is hypnotherapy the same as hypnosis?
Hypnotherapy, which is sometimes called hypnotic suggestion, is a therapeutic technique in which a therapist uses hypnosis to help patients. It is not the kind of hypnosis portrayed in stage shows, or in movies or on television. You will not be unconscious or asleep during hypnotherapy, you will not lose control of yourself, your thoughts, or your free will, and you will be able to fully recall your experience. And while you will hear your therapist’s suggestions, it is always up to you to decide whether to act on them. Hypnosis by a trained mental-health professional is not a form of mind control, which is impossible to achieve anyway.
Can everyone be hypnotized?
The most common challenge of hypnotherapy is that as many as one in four people cannot be hypnotized. Brain imaging has confirmed differences in patterns of brain connectivity between those who respond to hypnotism and those who do not. Other people who could potentially be hypnotized may not respond to the technique because of their skepticism or resistance to entering a hypnotic state. If a therapist’s “post-hypnotic suggestion” is effective, it’s because they are suggesting something you want to achieve.
Does hypnotherapy work?
Through hypnotherapy, you can achieve changes that are real and sustainable. Like other talk therapy techniques, when hypnotherapy succeeds, it’s a case of mind over matter. Effective hypnotherapy involves self-healing because you access resources you need to change inside of yourself and learn how to tap into them whenever you need. Hypnotherapy has been shown to be an effective therapy for anxiety, phobias, stress, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual dysfunction, and undesirable behaviors like smoking. It can be used to help improve sleep or to address relationship challenges, and to aid with pain management, digestive disorders, skin conditions, and the gastrointestinal side effects of pregnancy or chemotherapy.
