My specialities are Hypnotherapy, Medical Support Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming and a combination of the two called Inner Mind Sourcing.
I assist people to increase self-esteem and a sense of what's possible, personally and professionally. I also assist people in letting go of bad habits, limiting beliefs and to recover from traumatic types of experiences. This allows for greater motivation to do necessary tasks and important projects. As a person lets go of ideas about themselves that have negatively affected how they feel about themselves and also perceptions of how others felt about them, growth happens in every area of their life. I use a combination of Hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming and for those interested, spiritual principles.

I was dissatisfied with how long it took me to help my clients transform, so I started studying other treatment methods, such as coaching and hypnotherapy.
Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought that you should be further along in life by now? As an Asian American, you feel unsatisfied with where you are currently at in life, but you don't know where you should be headed. You might even feel like you lack the confidence to pursue your dreams. Maybe you struggle with finding yourself again after having baby.

Hypnotherapy combines psychotherapy and hypnosis, the best of both worlds.
I understand the pain involved with couple's problems, with anger, with anxiety, and with depression. My true specialty is anxiety, I find it fascinating and is my favorite subject. I love what I do and deeply respect the guts it takes to reach out for help. Everyone deserves a space dedicated to their needs and someone who not only listens to you but really hears what you have to say. Sometimes life is just plain hard and it's helpful to talk about it. While my approach is gentle, I still like to lay the cards face-up on the table.

I believe that the most crucial aspect of therapy is the relationship between the client and the therapist. The therapeutic relationship is part of what helps facilitate change. I help my clients make shifts in their relationships–the relationships they have with themselves, each other, and with their problems.

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.
