I am well versed in individual psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma and crisis intervention, suicide awareness and prevention, clinical heart- centered hypnotherapy, and alternative wellness options.
My counseling style leans toward a person-centered, solution focused approach. This approach remains eclectic in nature as each individual brings unique issues to the table and should be treated with the type of therapy most beneficial to their recovery. Over the last 15 years, I have worked with individuals of all ages, with a multitude of reasons in which to seek therapeutic resolve.

If you find yourself feeling stuck, unmotivated, worried, or lost, you are not alone. No matter our age, identity, or background, we all struggle with issues of growth, change, learning, love, and loss. These things are often part of life, but they're not always a matter of psychological conditions. If you're seeking the knowledge, skills, and support to overcome your challenges (but not a diagnosis or prescription), then my holistic coaching services are designed for you.

I primarily utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and ACT, and hypnotherapy.
After 27 years as a high school teacher, I followed my long-held interest and returned to school to become a licensed social worker (LMSW) and a substance abuse counselor (CASAC.) I work with clients who are suffering from anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, substance abuse, ADHD/ADD and I also work with couples. I primarily use CBT, ACT and DBT. Data shows that most people who experience substance use disorders also meet the criteria for a mental health disorder such as depression, anxiety, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (70-80%), or some form of trauma (50%.) Treating substance abuse means treating the whole person.

I specialize in helping individuals feel better and get the life they want by using Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). This approach is a practical, solution-focused therapy that explores how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. It helps identify and change negative thinking patterns contributing to emotional distress or difficulties. By teaching specific skills and techniques, CBT empowers individuals to manage challenges more effectively. It aims to break overwhelming problems into smaller parts, fostering a better understanding of oneself and developing strategies to cope better with life's ups and downs.

HypnoTherapy
How does hypnotherapy work?
Hypnotherapy works by using guided hypnosis to help you reach a state of focus and concentration through mental imagery and soothing verbal repetition. The state is somewhat like being absorbed in a book, a movie, or your own thoughts. You are not under a therapist’s “control,” but they can help you relax and turn your attention inward to discover the resources to achieve behavior change or better manage psychological concerns. Therapy sessions may involve guiding you through recognizing a problem, releasing problematic thoughts about it, and considering and accepting more productive alternatives before returning to normal awareness. Hypnotherapy is typically used by a therapist along with traditional forms of talk therapy. Eventually, your therapist can help you learn hypnotherapy techniques yourself so you can establish a stronger sense of control on your own in stressful or challenging moments.
Is hypnotherapy the same as hypnosis?
Hypnotherapy, which is sometimes called hypnotic suggestion, is a therapeutic technique in which a therapist uses hypnosis to help patients. It is not the kind of hypnosis portrayed in stage shows, or in movies or on television. You will not be unconscious or asleep during hypnotherapy, you will not lose control of yourself, your thoughts, or your free will, and you will be able to fully recall your experience. And while you will hear your therapist’s suggestions, it is always up to you to decide whether to act on them. Hypnosis by a trained mental-health professional is not a form of mind control, which is impossible to achieve anyway.
Can everyone be hypnotized?
The most common challenge of hypnotherapy is that as many as one in four people cannot be hypnotized. Brain imaging has confirmed differences in patterns of brain connectivity between those who respond to hypnotism and those who do not. Other people who could potentially be hypnotized may not respond to the technique because of their skepticism or resistance to entering a hypnotic state. If a therapist’s “post-hypnotic suggestion” is effective, it’s because they are suggesting something you want to achieve.
Does hypnotherapy work?
Through hypnotherapy, you can achieve changes that are real and sustainable. Like other talk therapy techniques, when hypnotherapy succeeds, it’s a case of mind over matter. Effective hypnotherapy involves self-healing because you access resources you need to change inside of yourself and learn how to tap into them whenever you need. Hypnotherapy has been shown to be an effective therapy for anxiety, phobias, stress, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual dysfunction, and undesirable behaviors like smoking. It can be used to help improve sleep or to address relationship challenges, and to aid with pain management, digestive disorders, skin conditions, and the gastrointestinal side effects of pregnancy or chemotherapy.
