You can’t shame yourself into change.
I was a people pleaser and professional gold-star chaser for my entire life. And I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed by… nothing? Everything? So desperately trying to cover up the truth of I. Am. Not. Ok. that I don’t even know what the actual problem is anymore.
Sound familiar? Ouch. Painful AND lonely.
On paper, life might appear ok. You “should” be happy. You genuinely are grateful. But something is not right- you find yourself spending more and more time (and money, and energy) on coping mechanisms that work for a little while but always, eventually, turn up the volume of self-criticism and shame. Which- unsurprisingly- leads to more coping.
Maybe you can’t even imagine how you’d survive your life any other way.
But you want to want to change. And you deserve to enjoy a life you don’t need to escape from.
I can help. And it won’t be scary, and I am not here to control your mind! I’m here to help you take back control, and get back to living a full and meaningful life.
Coaching . Hypnosis . Yoga .
Coaching . Hypnosis . Yoga .
My work incorporates decades of personal and professional experience, and pulls primarily from 3 modalities: hypnosis, coaching, and yoga.
Together, these create a bridge between mind, body and behavior.
Hypnosis is something we do together (nope, not mind control) to reach beneath the surface of your mind, gently shifting subconscious beliefs that keep you repeating old cycles so change can take root where it matters most.
Coaching offers clarity and direction. We’ll identify the patterns, habits, and choices that no longer serve you and create practical steps toward a life that does.
Yoga is more than downward facing dog! The principles of yoga can help reconnect your mind and body, build self-awareness, support nervous system regulation, and help you trust in your own inner signals. Lasting transformation happens when the body feels safe enough to let it.
How we blend these tools will be customized for your unique needs. This integrated approach is shame-free, judgement-free, and centered on you: who you are now, who you are becoming, and the life you actually want to live.
How does it all work?
What is hypnosis?
In simple terms, hypnosis is a very relaxed, focused state that allows you to bypass your busy conscious mind and access your subconscious mind (the one running the show). This happens naturally many times a day, it’s just not usually for a therapeutic purpose.
For example, when you are absorbed in a good book or movie (or Instagram doom scroll), you become so entranced by the story it’s like you’re in it! You become less aware of your surroundings, and although you consciously “know” you’re just reading or watching, your subconscious is so open to suggestion that it will create emotional and even physiological changes based on the storyline (i.e. your heart races with excitement or fear). This is a hypnotic state.
I help you get to that state on purpose, and make those suggestions based on the changes you want to make. You are not asleep, I am not in control of you, and there is no risk of getting “stuck” or doing or saying anything that you would not do or say in normal consciousness. But we can, together, start reprogramming your unhelpful patterns, redirect unkind self talk, and shift habitual behaviors you’ve identified.
So how does it work?
All services are delivered virtually, via zoom, Voxer voice notes, email, and occasionally video or audio files. Your individual experience is customized based on your needs, but you will select a package with a specific number of sessions and clear expectations for in-between session support if applicable.
Is this mental health counseling?
No, I am not a licensed mental health clinician. I am trained and certified in hypnosis which means I can work with your subconscious to shift unwanted patterns or behaviors. That might look like worrying, not sleeping, overspending, overreacting, or eating in a way that feels, well… terrible. I do not diagnose or treat mental health disorders.
I use the words hypnosis and hypnotherapy interchangeably in conversation, because people often hear “hypnosis” and think of something they saw on a stage. That’s not what I do! People hear “hypnotherapy” and get a more accurate picture of the healing modality I’m referring to.
My promise to you is that if I do not think I am best suited to help you, I’ll provide resources and/or recommendations. I am not a licensed clinician, and I cannot diagnose nor treat conditions requiring clinical levels of care. Everything we do is collaborative! My compassion-first approach ditches judgement and gets you to a place of conscious clarity.
