Hypnotherapy has helped hundreds of my clients from trauma that happened when they are children. If you have had a traumatic experience as a child, have done work with psychotherapy, there may be a part of your mind that is still not healed. Hypnotherapy work can help a client to regress to that part and work through that part's trauma in order to see the healing process through out the client's soul. The regression work with hypnotherapy has helped hundreds of my clients over the past 11 years. This will work for anyone who is interested and it is done in a safe, healthy, calm manner. Please contact today for more information.

Our mission is to normalize mental health, reduce the stigma, strengthen the community, and help people reach their goals/dreams. We use your expertise on yourself, your strengths, and our knowledge about mental health to help you get what you want out of therapy. We are someone on the outside who can recognize patterns, challenge them when needed, offer ways to change that pattern, but we don't shame you if you don't want to, can't or are not ready. We understand that you need a connection, and aren't an "authority" figure. We acknowledge we are human too.

My goal is to help clients find healing and build on the strengths that they already have with an approach that is best suited for them whether that be internal family systems, shame resilience, cognitive re-framing (with CBT), learning healthier relationship boundaries, emphasizing optimal lifestyle, and more. I am currently serving individual adult clients.

Everyone has experienced pain and disappointment in their life. For some of us that pain is keeping us from the life we want. You may have learned to cope in ways that are no longer helpful and have become "stuck." I consider it an honor to hear your story and help you navigate what is keeping you from moving forward.

I focus on my client's strengths and core values, and collaborate with them to find their own answers. I believe in the power of choice, and that learning how to make good choices is key. Clients often say after working with me that they feel encouraged, empowered and able to face their fears, and they understand that fear is a choice, not a necessity. I assist clients in working through their personal barriers, so that they can be successful, present and happy in their lives and the lives of their families.

You really can have a life of abundance, peace, and joy! Starting therapy can be therapy, as some people are afraid that they won't be able to experience a real connection with their therapist. I can promise you that I am as genuine as it gets! We will work together to achieve whatever goals you want in life while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.
