Hypnotherapy Therapists in Metairie, LA

I am a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and Rapid Transformational Therapist, working online via Zoom with clients around the world. I specialise in the subconscious patterns underneath anxiety, imposter syndrome and self-doubt in otherwise capable adults. The people I work with are usually intelligent and self-aware. They understand their patterns. They have read the books. And still the pattern keeps showing up. That is the gap RTT was built for. I have been where you are. I know what it is like to feel trapped by anxiety, self-doubt or patterns that seem impossible to break. I also know what it feels like to finally feel free. That is why I do this work.

I have a 95% success rate in releasing anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, sleep challenges, over consumption of alcohol, ADHD, grief, non-drug related addictions, and relationship challenges. My sessions include a powerful releasing process that reduces negative thinking, and therefore disables the continual re-imprinting and magnification of past painful experiences. Please listen to video testimonials at www.AnxietyEliminated.com to hear the stories of clients who have healed.

Your mind and body are deeply connected—and lasting change begins within. Hypnosis helps reprogram the subconscious mind, easing stress, releasing emotional blocks, and strengthening the mind-body connection. Research shows hypnosis can lower cortisol (the stress hormone) and support overall well-being. Every session is more than relaxation—it's an opportunity to heal, grow, and reconnect with your best self.

Something in you knows that what you're carrying runs deeper than the presenting problem. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and outwardly composed-yet internally they live with anxiety, depression, chronic tension or pain, relentless self-criticism, or a sense that something essential is blocked, muted, or just out of reach. These struggles may surface in mood, in the body, in behavior, or in relationships-including sexuality and intimacy-but they are rarely contained to any one area. They tend to reflect deeper emotional and relational patterns formed early in life, often before language, that continue to shape how a person approaches closeness, vulnerability, agency, pleasure, and self-expression. My work centers on how early experience shapes the capacity for self-regulation, desire, connection, and meaning throughout life-and particularly on how people come to know what they need and want, how they learn to express or inhibit those impulses, and what happens when these capacities become conflicted, constricted, or difficult to sustain. I integrate psychoanalytic hypnotherapy, somatic awareness, and clinical sexology within a reflective, depth-oriented process. Hypnosis functions as a central clinical tool-creating conditions for deeper internal contact with emotional, bodily, and unconscious experience that can be difficult to reach through conversation alone. The aim is not only relief from symptoms, but the development of a more coherent and compassionate relationship with one's inner life: sensations, emotions, impulses, and desires. This work is oriented toward lasting psychological change-and toward greater freedom in how one relates to oneself, one's body, and one's capacity for connection, authenticity, and vitality. It is best suited to those ready to move beyond symptom management toward something more fundamental.

I can help you get to the heart of your issues and make the lasting changes you’re longing for. Old patterns dissolve and new possibilities open up. My style is heartful, compassionate, down to earth and perceptive. When sitting with a client, I see ‘myself’ in them, and can feel what it’s like to be in your shoes. I’m then able to clearly sense exactly what is the most effective way to support you, in each moment. Having been in practice over 40 years, I'm a seasoned therapist and have the tools and experience to help resolve whatever is 'up' for you. In addition to talk, I use Brainspotting; EMDR; Body Centered therapy; Meditative approaches and Hypnotherapy.

Metairie is the largest suburb of New Orleans, sitting in Jefferson Parish just west of the city, and its mental health landscape is inseparable from the legacy of Hurricane Katrina, which flooded large parts of the area in 2005 and left lasting trauma across a community that rebuilt slowly and with ongoing grief. As a historically more prosperous suburb of New Orleans, Metairie has higher rates of private insurance coverage and more accessible private therapy than the city itself, but ongoing climate anxiety and the recurring stress of subsequent storms remain significant presenting concerns. Ochsner Health System and Tulane University's medical programs provide behavioral health services in the broader New Orleans metro, and a private therapy sector serves Metairie residents directly. Common therapy concerns include hurricane-related trauma and grief, climate and weather anxiety, family stress, and the complex community grief of a region still navigating recovery decades after Katrina.
