Transform old negative beliefs and thoughts into new, healthy positive beliefs and thinking about yourself.

Hypnotherapy, along with EMDR and other therapies are ideal in helping people calm, relax, and soothe the brain and body. Self-hypnosis is easy to learn and will give increased mastery over stress levels.

Utilizing both hypnotherapy and/or EMDR removes the self-consciousness that can make public speaking frightening or phobic. As a result, people feel more confident and less self-conscious as they engage in calmer public speaking.

This is also called finding your positive shadow parts - they are waiting for you! You can access and enhance positive parts of yourself that have been lost or unknown in your conscious mind. An example could be accessing and developing a previous sense of humor that was lost and burdened through a difficult life. Resource development often occurs spontaneously when other trauma work is completed.

Hypnotherapy works well to help you understand core issues with depression, anxiety and many other problems. It also helps you learn cognitive behavioral changes that are known to decrease symptoms. Using hypnosis to visualize positive success imagery allows for behavioral rehearsal and lends itself to a hopeful future.

We might use hypnosis to explore the underlying emotional and/or historical significance of an illness, disease, or symptom. This work may lead to symptom reduction or a greater understanding of the psychological components of an illness or symptom. One experiences a deeper understanding of the relationship between the mind, emotions, and body. Some examples of medical issues we can treat with hypnosis are dermatological disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, improvement in fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, Lyme disease, arthritic conditions, and cystitis. Additionally, hypnosis is useful in pain management and many other problems.

Many people find themselves immobilized by high pressure when taking a test. Their usual recall becomes challenged and they experience an immobilized or freeze response. Combining traditional psychotherapy with adjunctive therapies, people are able to release themselves from the debilitating effects of anxiety during their test-taking and performance. Feeling relaxed during testing allows easier access to recall. As a result, the test reveals a true reflection of one’s knowledge rather than one's anxiety.

Dreams are powerful entryways into the unconscious or subconscious layers of ourselves. With effective exploration of our dreams we can find a wealth of information about who we are, including clues to our healing and the healing of our shadow elements. I am skilled in the use and integration of dream information for psychotherapeutic purposes in psychotherapy, hypnosis and EMDR.
