Explore the benefits of clinical hypnotherapy

Clinical hypnosis isn't mind control or stage shows. You've already experienced hypnotic states naturally—driving familiar roads without conscious attention, being absorbed in a book, or that space between waking and sleeping. Your mind enters focused states naturally all the time.

How It Works

Your conscious mind is logical and analytical. Your subconscious runs automatic patterns learned over years. Most therapy works with your conscious mind, but the patterns you're fighting operate below conscious awareness. You can't think your way out of something running on automatic.

Hypnotherapy accesses both levels. During hypnosis, your subconscious becomes more receptive to new frameworks that better serve your goals. You remain fully aware and hear everything, you are always in control.

What to Expect

Your first session starts with conversation before any hypnosis—I need to understand your concerns, goals, and whether hypnotherapy is right for you. “We start the hypnosis with an Induction - guided relaxation and absorption, using my voice to help you enter a focused, relaxed state. You remain aware throughout.

Session needs vary based on what you're working with, how long the pattern's been in place, and how you respond. Some people notice shifts in a few session; others may need a bit longer. We work together until you've achieved your goals.
