We Help You Achieve Confidence and Peace of Mind

We’re not saying you should. In fact, I don’t think you should “try” anything. I recommend investing yourself 100% in everything you do, rather than “trying this” and “trying that.” When you’re ready to overcome anxiety for good, I will help you develop greater awareness of your mental state and the daily choices you make in your life which affect how you feel. In short, my methods help give you the emotional control you need to feel the way you want.

Let’s start with what hypnosis is NOT good for. Hypnosis is not the best tool for: serious mental health issues including psychosis/bipolar/ADHD, medical issues, addictions, weight loss, and people who struggle with basic life functionality (for example: can’t hold down a job, make appointments, can’t behave appropriately in the office, etc.)

Beyond what I just mentioned, hypnosis can help with just about anything.

However, I am a specialist. I only do hypnosis for anxiety. If you want help with anything else, go somewhere else. I don’t mean to sound blunt, but a big reason why I get the results I do is that I specialize in one thing. 

It’s a focused state of attention. In hypnosis you can learn new attitudes, perspectives, choices, ways of thinking, and other resources that help you feel more confident and less anxious.

It is commonly believed that hypnotherapists are similar to other mental health professionals, like psychologists. Hypnotherapy, however, is a unique modality with its own scope and preparation. A well-trained hypnotherapist understands that clients change themselves.

Hence, a hypnotherapist is part investigator, accountability partner, coach, and instructor. It is a dynamic role that requires rapport building, listening skills, empathy, intuition, and logic.

Short answer: Yes

Long answer:

It’s important to recognize that “hypnotizability studies” are usually done by reading the same “script” to every participant in the study. This is a flawed way to do hypnosis.

The proper way (which few hypnotherapists actually do) is to customize what you are saying to each client in real time -no scripts, no formulas, no nonsense.

It’s about knowing the hypnotic language well enough to say the right things at the right time to help clients go into trance. Everyone willing to do hypnosis as a means to achieve an important goal can be hypnotized. 

Two possible reasons for this:

1) You depended on “hypnosis” to do the work for you. Hypnosis does not, and will not achieve your goal without any effort on your part.
2) There was no “connecting strategy” between the session and your actual life. This is probably your hypnotherapist's fault, not yours.

Hypnosis is just a tool, not a strategy. If you do not actively and consciously take the ideas from the session into your life, nothing will change. A good hypnotherapist will assist you in such a strategy.

However, most hypnotherapists are generalists with no specialized knowledge in your goal. When you work with me, I bring not only mastery of the hypnotic language, but hundreds of effective connecting strategies that are flexible enough to adapt to your unique situation.

Historically, the word Hypnosis comes from Greek origin meaning a “sleep-like state”. If you saw a hypnotized person, they might look like they are asleep. In this way, hypnosis is like sleep, but it is not sleep. When you do hypnosis, you will not be asleep, nor will you be unconscious. You will be aware of everything that is happening in the session.

No. It is impossible to get “stuck”. All hypnotic states end, whether formally ended by the Hypnotherapist or naturally by you. You can come out of hypnosis anytime you choose.

Absolutely not. Hypnosis doesn’t “make you” do anything. Even after receiving positive hypnotic suggestions, it is up to you whether you want to act on them or not.

No. You will only tell me what you think is important for me to know in order to help you. If you don’t feel comfortable telling me something, you won’t. This is true whether you’re talking to me in conversation, or doing hypnosis.

My goal is to put you in greater control of your emotional state. You’ll gain control, not lose it.

At times, there can be anxiety about the change process, which is normal and natural. I am very good at helping clients work through these challenges.

There are no negative side effects from the hypnosis itself. Most people find the experience to be extremely positive, beneficial and empowering.
