Above is a short “safe place” hypnotherapy recording I created for calm and anxiety reduction.

Hypnotherapy is a powerful and potentially effective tool when used in the service of personal growth. It utilizes a heightened state of focus and attention to assist you in expanding your inner potentialities so you can move beyond stuck habits and behaviors.
That’s why I integrate clinical hypnotherapy into my practice. It’s a gentle, client-directed form of hypnosis, whose primary aim is helping you feel calm, well, and in control.
I also offer all my clients the option to receive individualized hypnosis recordings that are created in session as part of the treatment, or as an additional service.
For recordings created outside of session I am able to spend extra time and energy scripting every word I say, specializing the suggestions for clients I am already very familiar with, so that they can receive maximal benefit from the recordings.
I do this is because research has increasingly shown using hypnosis recordings for a minimum of 21 days can help to reduce anxiety, depression, pain, and fatigue, improve self-esteem and energy, increase self-mastery and motivation, and help with healing and relaxation.
In these recordings, I customize metaphors and create extended story arcs that reflect deep cultural, historical, and emotional patterns that are relevant to you.
Ultimately, this highly individualized approach can help to reach the deep places in your psyche that have been resistant to making the changes you consciously desire.
If we work together doing stand-alone hypnotherapy you will be an active participant in your own change process.
What does that mean?
It means you will commit to learning and utilizing self-hypnosis for 5-10 minutes a day to aid in the change process, as we work together for a minimum of five hypnotherapy sessions.
It means that you will take responsibility for your mind and be a key factor in bringing about and maintaining your own process of change. I will do the heavy lifting in session and you will do the maintenance outside of session.
This approach tends to cement and sustain the effects of hypnotherapy–for though it may seem a bit like magic, it’s not. As with all change it requires reinforcement and a willingness on your part to commit to engaging in the process.
Please note: not everyone is a good candidate for stand-alone hypnotherapy. In our first session I will make a brief assessment to determine if I perceive that option as being the most effective in bringing about your long term desired changes. I do this because the problems and issues that keep us stuck are often very deeply ingrained. Out of respect for the complexity of the human psyche I will frequently integrate hypnotherapy into a larger therapeutic treatment protocol as I have found that deeply entrenched issues require a more nuanced approach.

You can also check out some research from Stanford and the University of Quebec on the power of hypnotherapy to alter brain regions and positively influence the therapy process.
Here you can find a New York Times Op-Ed piece from a writer who experienced incredible relief from crushing anxiety and OCD with the help of hypnosis.
