Hypnotherapy is a safe and effective way to work with many of the challenges that bring a person into therapy.

​

During hypnosis, you are neither asleep nor unconscious. Instead, you experience a gently altered state of consciousness in which you may feel deeply relaxed while remaining an active participant in your session.  In fact, no matter how deeply hypnotized you become, you remain in control through out the session and are able to communicate easily.​  My role is to act as your guide and to provide verbal cues and visual images to support you in entering a state of relaxed focus.  

​

Hypnotherapy is especially helpful for deepening and enhancing traditional talk therapy. It allows us to work directly with the parts of your inner landscape and with systemic constellations, reaching layers of experience that conversation alone may not touch. 

​

This is possible because of how the brain shifts during hypnosis. As the induction unfolds, beta activity slows and alpha and theta activity increases. In this state, the conscious mind quiets, and the deep wisdom of the unconscious becomes easier to access, along with memories and experiences that are harder to reach when the mind is busy.​​​
