I am currently not accepting any new Hypnotherapy Clients at this time.
First, What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a normal and natural function of your mind. You go into hypnosis (your subconscious) mind hundreds of times a day. The most common for adults is while you are driving. The conscious mind gets bored and you start daydreaming, thinking about home, work, etc. It could be a thousand different things. As you think about and focus your thoughts on these things your outside awareness disappears and you begin driving on autopilot. You are now in unintentional hypnosis. This is when it is easy to be in an accident. You also can go into unintentional hypnosis watching a really good movie and the outside awareness is gone, you are in that movie. Being really focused on you computer causes unintentional hypnosis also, again the outside awareness is gone unless the phone rings, etc. Other examples would be exercising, sitting in a classroom, or reading a book. I'm sure you can think of other examples just by thinking how you go through your day.
Now, What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a type of therapy that uses guided relaxation, focus, and suggestions to help with issues. It works by putting you in a deeply relaxed state, called hypnosis, where your mind is more open to ideas and changes. This state isn’t like being asleep—it’s more like being in a trance where you’re still aware but very calm. Hypnotherapists use this state to help address habits, fears, pain, stress, or mental blocks. It’s not about losing control or being forced to do something; you’re always in charge. Many people use hypnotherapy to manage anxiety, quit smoking, improve sleep, or even boost confidence. Some see results quickly, while others might need several sessions. It’s often used alongside other treatments to get better results. Think of it as a mental tool that helps shift patterns or behaviors you’re struggling to change.

All About a Hypnotherapy Appointment
The first appointment for hypnotherapy is my consult, in which I take a complete history and explain how hypnosis works. I also discuss what you can expect to achieve with hypnotherapy and approximately how many sessions are needed, based on what is discussed in the consult. This takes approximately an hour and a half. The first session in hypnosis is usually scheduled for the next week and lasts about an hour and half.
There may be several additional sessions based on the information we discuss during the consult. I will make you a recording and each recording is personalized just for your needs. While using the recording you are hypnotizing yourself, reinforcing and empowering yourself with the thoughts, feelings and emotions that lead you to achieve and maintain your personal goals and desires. I supply flash drives or CDs for the recording and in most cases I email you the recording from my phone within a few days.
I follow your progress carefully over the phone, and I will have you return for fine tuning if necessary. In many instances several issues can be addressed at the same time. I work with teens and adults. Payment is with check, cash or credit card at time of visit. Most insurances companies do not cover Hypnotherapy. Some company flex plans may reimburse. Flexible daytime appointments.
Hypnosis is a powerful and pleasant way to change emotional and physiological responses that make us unhappy and unhealthy!
