Therapists in Lake Balboa, CA

I help people of all ages feel more optimistic and enthusiastic about life, without medication. I specialize in the release of depression, anxiety, negativity, jealousy, lack of motivation, weight issues, perfectionism, anger problems and anything that is a result of low self-esteem. If you would like to move through the world with more confidence and ease, you must be willing to see yourself in a different way, and with Rapid Transformational Therapy and hypnotherapy, I can help you achieve that. As human beings, we can get stuck in a pattern of negative thinking and that only keeps us from getting what we want. So, I work with the subconscious mind to change the neural pathways in your brain so that a new way of thinking can change your trajectory in this life, getting you out of your own way and giving you a fresh perspective.
