Hypnotherapy is a way of creating change by working with your subconscious mind.

 

You've probably heard of hypnosis, but this isn't about clucking like a chicken, losing control, or having someone take over your mind.

Hypnosis is a state of focused attention in which you can turn your awareness inward and become more receptive to suggestions.

​

And here's something that surprises a lot of people.

You don't have to be unconscious, lose awareness of your surroundings, or experience some extraordinary level of relaxation for hypnosis to be useful.

​

People experience hypnosis differently.

Some feel deeply relaxed.

Others remain aware of the sounds around them and the thoughts passing through their minds.

You can still think, speak, ask questions, and participate in the process.

In fact, I encourage it!

 

Why Work With Your Subconscious Mind?

Have you ever known exactly what you wanted to change but found yourself doing the same thing over and over again?

​

Maybe you want to feel more confident, but every time you have an opportunity to speak up, something stops you.

Perhaps you want to let go of a habit, but no matter how many times you promise yourself you'll stop, you find yourself right back where you started.

Or maybe you understand that a particular situation isn't dangerous, yet your body responds as though it is.

It can be frustrating, especially when you've tried reasoning with yourself, thinking positively, or using willpower to change.

​

But what if there's a reason your mind keeps responding the way it does?

Our subconscious learns through experience.

Over time, we develop beliefs, emotional associations, expectations, and automatic responses that influence how we experience the world.

Some of those patterns serve us beautifully.

Others may have made sense at one point in our lives but are no longer helping us today.

And understanding that distinction can make all the difference.

My Approach to Hypnotherapy

I've been working with clients since 1999, and one of the most important things I've learned is that understanding why a pattern exists is often an important part of changing it.

 

My approach, Whole Brain Hypnotherapy, works with both your conscious and subconscious mind to explore the beliefs, emotional associations, and experiences connected to what you want to change.

Rather than relying on a generic hypnosis script, I develop therapeutic suggestions and interventions around your individual history and circumstances.

​

It's an approach built around understanding you, not simply treating a symptom.

What Can You Work On in Hypnotherapy?

People come to me for all kinds of reasons.

Some want to change a specific habit or behavior. Others want to understand an emotional response, work through a fear, or develop greater confidence.

 

Hypnotherapy may be a useful part of working on concerns such as:

• Confidence, self-esteem, and self-expression

• Unwanted habits and automatic behaviors

• Fears, anxiety, and certain stress-related responses

• Limiting beliefs and patterns of self-sabotage

• Emotional associations connected to past experiences

• Motivation, creativity, and personal development

• Overcoming the impact of trauma, without reliving it

 

Every person is different, and so is the work we do together.

During our initial conversation, we'll discuss what you want to accomplish and whether my approach is appropriate for your particular circumstances.

 

Will I Lose Control During Hypnosis?

This is one of the questions people ask most often.

The short answer is no.

Hypnotherapy isn't mind control.

​

You remain an active participant in the experience.

You can communicate with me, ask questions, and let me know if something doesn't feel right.

And you don't have to accept a suggestion simply because I make it.

In fact, I want you to question things that don't make sense to you.

Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process.

We're working together to understand your experiences and explore possibilities for change.
