I utilize Trauma Informed Hypnotherapy and other solution-oriented strategies to resolve symptoms that come from past traumatic experiences.
My goal is to help people discover their own ability to achieve change in their lives. Many times I hear people describe themselves as broken or damaged because they are unable to just "get over it". Often, these degrading narratives overwhelm and we can find ourselves experiencing anxiety, depression and even substance abuse issues. The good news is that using modern, evidence-based techniques we can not only resolve the issues that have led you to seek counseling, but make you better equipped in the future to handle life challenges as they arise.

What is getting in the way of you being happy? Of being the person you want to be? Feeling comfortable in your own body? Having healthy relationships?

I get it. It's overwhelming. If you are ready for things to be different, I'm ready to help you get there.

Every person who steps through my door is a unique individual. Like many multi-faceted people, you may be experiencing confusing or conflicting internal "signals" telling you your life needs changing. Ongoing frustration, worry, sadness, tension, relationship conflict, or disinterest in things that used to give you joy are signs that your life really wants your attention! Distress may drive you to seek relief, but may also indicate your readiness for change. With careful attention, hard work, and the right therapeutic fit, your deepest challenges could, ironically, become the bedrock for a better life.

Our world expects so much from people and we are often able to do it all, for a while. Sometimes expectations, both ours and others, smother us and leave us feeling hopeless. We might not be able to move forward in our career, despite excelling in our work. Sometimes we bury emotions, thinking I’ll get to that later, which may result in feeling overwhelmed or feeling nothing at all. Perhaps the demands of career, family, and caring for others leave us feeling exhausted and guilt-ridden. Possibly what has always worked, doesn’t seem to work anymore. Peace may feel out of reach.

Why Play Therapy? This is a frequently asked question. I believe that through play, children express themselves in their own developmentally appropriate way. Through play and other expressive therapies, children can resolve problems, cope with difficult emotions,improve cognitive development and help resolve inner conflicts.
Although I work mainly with children, my education and training also allow me the opportunity to work with adults on certain issues.

I adjust each session to what the client needs at that time, using traditional talk therapy techniques, as well as non-traditional techniques, such as tarot-based therapy, nature-based therapy, hypnotherapy, experiential therapy, and transpersonal therapy.
Accepting new clients! My approach to therapy is a fairly nontraditional, nature-informed, holistic-style of therapy/coaching. My goal in therapy is to help you rediscover your true self and to realign you with the ideal path for your life. Too often, we lose track of our true selves by getting buried under the hurt from the past, the auto-pilot of the present, and the fears of the future. Together, we will work to break you out of those cycles and to address that which holds you back from your full potential. I will help you identify your inner strengths so that you can feel more grounded in the person that you want to become.

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.
