Clinical Hypnotherapy
Accessing Internal Resources for Intentional Change
Clinical Hypnosis is a powerful, evidence-based modality that allows you to move beyond analytical mental chatter and access your deeper, subconscious resources for lasting change. When integrated thoughtfully into therapy, hypnosis accelerates insight, shifts entrenched emotional responses, and reinforces new, healthy behavioral patterns.
Rather than treating clinical hypnosis as an isolated or mechanical technique, I integrate it seamlessly into a comprehensive, highly personalized treatment plan when clinically appropriate and aligned with your goals.
World-Class Training & Advanced Expertise
My clinical foundation in hypnosis is built upon advanced training directly under Dr. Michael Yapko, globally recognized pioneer in clinical hypnosis and author of the seminal text Trancework.
This training informs a sophisticated, contemporary application of hypnosis grounded in strategic psychotherapy, cognitive flexibility, and modern neurobiology—far removed from outdated or sensationalized depictions of "trance."
A Permissive, Empowering Approach
Many people harbor misconceptions about hypnosis, fearing a loss of control. My practice utilizes a permissive, collaborative model rather than an authoritarian stance:
Complete Autonomy & Control: You remain fully conscious, awake, and in complete control throughout the experience. Clinical hypnosis is simply a state of focused attention paired with deep physiological relaxation—similar to the state of absorption you experience during meditation or creative flow.
Empowering Your Internal Agency: The goal of our work is not to impose suggestions upon you, but to empower you to intentionally direct your own internal processes. We utilize focused states of awareness to help you shift automatic emotional triggers, quiet the body's alarm system, and respond differently to life's pressures.
Bridging Intent and Action: By aligning your conscious goals with your subconscious conditioning, clinical hypnosis helps dissolve internal resistance, allowing you to execute meaningful changes in your behavior, emotional regulation, and daily life with greater ease.
Applications in Care
Integrated clinical hypnotherapy is particularly effective for high-functioning adults and professionals navigating:
Performance anxiety, public speaking fears, and high-stakes stress
Persistent, recurring anxiety or panic responses
Breaking long-standing habits, impulse loops, or negative self-talk
Deep nervous system regulation, stress reduction, and burnout recovery

Hypnotherapy is a gentle, evidence-informed approach that helps you access the subconscious patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
