I specialize in working with seniors and supporting and educating caregivers of individuals with dementia-related illnesses. If you’ve ever been on a plane, you’ve heard these instructions. “Please put your oxygen mask on first before assisting others.” Now, imagine hearing these words as a caregiver… Roughly translated it would mean, “take care of yourself and the better you will take care of others.” It’s difficult to see someone struggle, and oftentimes when we do, we sacrifice our own well-being to ensure theirs. It may not seem this way, but you both deserve hope and support through this challenging time.

Time is of the essence. Let's face it, men are often reluctant to enter therapy as they find it stigmatizing or a sign of being weak or even skeptical of it's effectiveness. Men often take a problem-solving, solution-focused approach to life and that is not always congruent with most therapy models where the focus is on discussing feelings, exploring the past or "processing" experiences. As a cognitive behavioral therapist with an emphasis on solution focused & positive, strengths based interventions, I use a more active, action oriented & short term approach that works well for men and includes a more stoic philosophy.

I work with women, offering support during transitional times in their lives, both personal and professional. Whether going through childbirth, a breakup, menopause, or a loss, my clients seek hypnotherapy to make changes that are difficult to achieve through other methods. Hypnosis helps reach processes that happen unconsciously and are often the strongest. Together, we will safely explore these unconscious processes in hypnosis to gently break habits that no longer serve you. If you feel stuck, hypnotherapy can help you gain freedom from old patterns and narratives and meet your true self.

How does neuro-linguistic programming work?

A therapist using Neuro-linguistic programming might start by building a strong rapport and gathering information about the client’s objectives and any problem areas. Then the NLP therapist will employ NLP techniques to guide their client toward healthier thoughts and behaviors. Clients will learn how to better manage their moods and hone their communication skills. NLP will conclude with the therapist and client making a plan for how to integrate the positive changes into their daily life in the future.

What are some techniques used in neuro-linguistic programming?

NLP therapists often employ anchoring, so the client begins to automatically associate their trigger with a healthier response. Clients also learn how to reframe a situation to change the way they react to it for the better, and how to replace the negative beliefs that are holding them back. Many NLP clients practice visualization or forming a mental image of themselves attaining their goals. Every NLP therapist will have their own preferred approach with specific techniques that they have found to be helpful for their clients.

How long does neuro-linguistic programming take?

Since neuro-linguistic programming is not regulated, the length of treatment can vary greatly. Some therapists may only use NLP in a single session, while others may employ it over the course of weeks, months, or even years. It depends greatly on the type and severity of the problem being treated, as well as the individual client’s response to NLP treatment.

Is neuro-linguistic programming evidence-based?

While some people may find neuro-linguistic programming helpful, either in therapy or in their career or personal development, the science behind this approach is inconclusive. Most of the available studies are small in scale and have produced mixed results, and the commercial nature of NLP lends itself to conflicts of interest. More research is needed. In the meantime, practitioners must use their best judgment of whether NLP techniques will be helpful in meeting their clients’ individual needs.
