A growing body of scientific research confirms that clinical hypnotherapy does in fact work. Stress, anxiety, back and other body pain, insomnia, weight loss, and a host of other issues all respond positively to short-term, clinical hypnotherapy.

A growing number of medical and academic researchers underscore the effectiveness of hypnotherapy. “Hypnosis is the oldest Western form of psychotherapy,” says Stanford Medical School MD and Professor of Medicine, Dr. David Siegel. “It’s a very powerful means of changing the way we use our minds to control perception and our bodies.”

“Hypnosis helps patients to reduce their distress and have positive expectations about the outcomes of surgery. I don’t think there is any magic or mind control,” observes Dr. Guy H. Montgomery, psychologist and leading researcher on hypnosis and pain management at Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

Hypnotherapy works by showing you how to relax deeply, let go of the critical self-talk of the conscious mind, and trust in your subconscious mind’s ability to replace old limiting doubts and habits with positive new beliefs and behaviors.

My goal as your hypnotherapist is to teach you how to master these techniques through in-session practice and daily repetition so that you can reinforce the positive changes you want to bring about in your life.

By learning first-hand that the hypnotic state, or trance, is a natural ability you can tap into at any time, and by working collaboratively with me as your hypnotherapist, you can focus the innate wisdom of your subconscious mind to achieve the changes you desire.

Whatever obstacles and struggles someone may be going through in life, I consider it a privilege to help them deal with. I understand that the clients I see are entrusting me to give them the right resources to guide them down a new path, with a new perspective, so they can achieve their own goals.
