Counseling for Adults: 

I provide a safe place with a mindful, intentional, and heart-centered approach.  I love serving you and helping you to make changes that are aligned with the life you want and deserve; helping you to recognize that you already have all the pieces within you. I teach my clients how the mind, body, spirit, and heart can come together to bring balance and clarity for total well-being. 

Many of my clients struggle with constant worry, stress, and anxiety. They come with a strong desire to create positive changes in their life. They want to learn how to stop the overwhelming fear that causes stress, paralyzes them, and prevents them from living a meaningful and fulfilling life.

During our counseling sessions, we explore what has happened in the past and how it shows up in the present. I encourage my clients to give a voice to that anxious part of themselves and recognize what that part of themselves really needs. I help them change their relationship with anxiety and implement healthier tools to cope instead of engaging in unhealthy behaviors to numb the anxiety or avoid the issues causing pain. At the end of the day, anxiety has its own wound in childhood and as adults we have the power to identify the source and learn to overcome it so it no longer prevents us from living the life we desire.

Many of the adults I work with also struggle with depression. Many of them come to therapy with a sense of sadness, hopelessness, emptiness, overwhelming fear of failure, intrusive thoughts, and crippling self-criticism that stops them from living life to the fullest.

In our work together, I encourage my clients to evaluate the evidence of their fears, the story they keep telling themselves that keeps them stuck, the limited beliefs they developed in childhood, and overall the source of that disconnection from themselves and loved ones. The repression of feelings can result in depression, therefore, I encourage my clients to speak about depression, unhealthy behaviors, stress-related illnesses, shame, self-criticism, unresolved trauma, and unexpressed anger that they may be holding to. 

Part of the healing process is to learn how to deal with emotions, especially those emotions we were not allowed to express as children. Children are not given the tools they need to express emotions in a healthy way. Usually, they are told to keep it together or else. My goal is to provide a safe space for my clients to be able to explore layers of emotions and be able to nurture themselves the way they wish they had been while growing up. 

Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy & Hypnosis (HCH):

Heart-Centered Hypnosis or Hypnotherapy is built on a strong humanistic and transpersonal psychology foundation. It incorporates Gestalt therapy, Transactional Analysis (TA), transpersonal psychology, Reichian body armoring, and a family systems perspective. During HCH, we focus on building and strengthening your internal resources.

We use various techniques to assist you in releasing deeply buried, repressed emotions and conflicts from your body. We explore patterns from childhood that continue to affect you in adulthood. By using the healing tools of HCH, we are able to work on extinguishing negative behavioral patterns and destructive emotions. Through this process, you will arrive at new healthy conclusions about yourself and develop better conscious behaviors. Finally, we work on increasing the heart-centered love within you. 

I approach my work from a variety of perspectives. My training includes Mindfulness,  Gestalt approach, NeuroLinguistic Programing (NLP), Eye Movement Integration, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), energy work, among other traditional psychotherapy approaches. To ensure you receive the most appropriate treatment, I tailor my approach to your needs. Each client’s experience is individualized and person-centered.

How to Stop Smoking with Hypnotherapy & Hypnosis: 

​

If you struggle with how to quit smoking, hypnosis can help! Hypnotherapy is highly effective in assisting people so they can stop smoking. 

Many clients come in talking about the reasons why they want to quit smoking, but then they struggle to follow through with stopping, because it's really tough without the right support. They identify that they want to improve their health status and enhance quality of their lives. They are worried about the risk of premature death, poor reproductive health outcomes, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cancer.

Quitting smoking is hard due to nicotine being a very addictive substance and the psychological rewards for the smoker. One of the most common reasons for people to smoke is the belief that it is relaxing. However, nicotine is a stimulant that could or will increase your anxiety, just like caffeine. People also have difficulty letting go of the belief that smoking helps with constipation, stress, anxiety and motivation.

During the process of using Hypnotherapy to quitting smoking, you will be encouraged to explore the events and emotions that trigger your desire to smoke. Hypnotherapy focuses on internal motivation. It works directly with your subconscious mind.

Besides looking into the benefits to quit and the benefits to continue, you will also learn how to break the habit, recognize the withdrawals signs “cravings” and show you healthy ways to relax and to deal with triggering emotions. Being in a relaxed state, your subconscious mind is open to receive suggestions that lead you toward the goal of not smoking. Hypnotherapy can help you learn new tools and resources for you to practice in your everyday life. You will feel empowered, and ready to create active change in your life.
