In short, hypnosis is a powerful state of relaxed, focused awareness.

Hypnosis is a normal and natural state of consciousness that we all go into every day.

One way to think about hypnosis is that it's a focusing and filtering mechanism.

With hypnosis, we are able to turn down the noise of the thinking mind, allowing us to tune more into the subconscious mind - the “supercomputer” that is running the show behind the scenes. 

It works by de-potentiating the left hemisphere and bypassing the critical factor - the judge - to access the subconscious and unconscious minds, the realm of emotions and habits. 

Hypnosis is a revealing mechanism. The truth resides in deeper parts of you, and hypnosis can help you access it effortlessly for life-changing insight and clarity.

Once we're there, old habits, patterns, and emotions that aren't serving you can finally be understood and then released. You will retain the insights and understanding - that's what makes the transformation permanent. 

New, updated understandings and patterns can then be integrated in a safe, loving, and effective way.

By accessing the subconscious and unconscious minds in hypnosis, we are able to uncover and dissolve the subconscious root causes behind many issues people suffer from every day.

We can discover the subconscious reasons for symptoms, behaviors, or habits - and when they are discovered, hypnotherapeutic tools and techniques are used to help release them, helping people relearn a new positive way of thinking, subconsciously.

Hypnosis allows you to access all the healing resources inherent within the subconscious mind, promoting natural healing from within.

Despite what you see in the movies and stage shows, you are always in control when in hypnosis - it's an opt-in state.

Hypnosis has been sanctioned and used by the US medical community since 1958 to help patients overcome chronic pain, create anesthesia, and heal psychogenic illnesses.

Yes, absolutely. Hypnosis works for my clients often when everything else has failed.

Because hypnosis is different, you can expect different results. We love our conscious thinking mind, but if it could solve the problem you're having, it would have by now! So rather than lean into our conscious thinking mind to solve the problem, hypnosis helps us tap into the power of your subconscious mind where memories and emotions are stored.

Hypnosis has helped millions of people change problem behaviors and improve their lives.

Hypnotherapy has been recognized as a powerful, effective, and therapeutic technique by the American Medical Association (since 1958), by the British Medical Association, (since 1957), and by the American Psychological Society.

Hypnosis can help you change habits, reduce the sensation of pain, get better sleep, increase motivation, and help you heal from past experiences

Yes, of course!

Hypnosis is a normal and natural state of mind that everyone experiences regularly.

For example, you enter a hypnotic state when daydreaming, or when captivated by an enjoyable movie or a good book.

Actually, it's such a normal state of mind that most people don't realize they are hypnotized.

It's also important to know that hypnosis is an "opt-in" state - meaning, you can only be hypnotized by another person if you want to be hypnotized, and can not be hypnotized against your will.

If you do want to be hypnotized, you just need to be willing and able to follow gentle instructions for reaching a state of focused awareness.

Yes! Anyone with normal or higher intelligence who is willing to follow instructions can benefit from hypnosis, including teenagers and children.

Hypnosis is safe - it's a perfectly normal and common state of mind we go into naturally everyday.

You enter hypnosis regularly when daydreaming, watching a good movie, or reading a book.

During these activities you remain consciously aware and in complete control,  just as you do when a professional hypnotherapist assists you in entering into a state of hypnosis.

Most people start noticing positive changes after the very first session, and on average, 5-6 hypnosis sessions will effectively address most issues.

Each hypnosis session generally lasts about 90 minutes (+/- 15 minutes). 

Sessions are generally scheduled one per week, so I help my clients over 5-6 weeks on average.

As your hypnotist, I will be guiding the process, but it's important to understand that you make the changes by actively participating and using the power of your subconscious mind.

We will always start off with a hypnosis consultation, where I can get to know you and the issues with which you'd like help.

From here, if I believe I can help you, I will let you how many sessions it will take to get you results, and the total cost for all sessions.

I do not accept insurance. Most companies won't pay for hypnosis, but a few do, including Blue Cross. All sessions are an out of pocket expense.

I do accept HSA (Healthcare Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spending Accounts). But I always advise clients to check with their provider first, because not all consider hypnosis a reimbursable expense, and you may have to repay it. However, in my experience they do cover HSA and FSA (I just can't guarantee it). Both are insurance based programs that are paid into with pre-tax dollars. I provide all invoices and receipts to make it easy for you to get recovery from your insurance provider if they accept it.
