I specialize in working with depression by utilizing hypnosis and brainspotting. I possess a deep understanding of the complexities of depression, including the underlying psychological, emotional, and neurobiological factors that contribute to the condition. With empathy and compassion, I create a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their experiences, emotions, and thought patterns.

The combination of hypnosis and brainspotting enhances the effectiveness of trauma therapy for individuals with PTSD. Hypnosis enables exploration and reframing of traumatic memories, while brainspotting provides a somatic approach, addressing the physiological and neurobiological aspects of trauma. Together, these techniques facilitate the release of trapped energy and negative emotions associated with traumatic experiences, paving the way for healing and personal transformation.

I help individuals uncover and process any life events that may be contributing to their anxiety symptoms. By accessing the subconscious mind, individuals gain insight into the root causes of their anxiety and develop effective coping strategies. I use hypnosis and brainspotting to promote relaxation, build resilience, and cultivate new patterns of thinking and responding to anxiety-provoking situations.

Hypnotherapy is a recognized and respected therapeutic approach, often used in conjunction with other modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or psychotherapy. It offers a safe and gentle method for exploring and transforming subconscious beliefs and patterns, supporting individuals in their journey toward positive change and personal growth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely practiced and evidence-based therapeutic approach that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It recognizes that our thoughts and interpretations significantly influence our emotional and behavioral responses to situations.

Brainspotting focuses on the brain-body connection to facilitate healing and processing of unresolved traumas, emotional distress, and other psychological challenges. It recognizes that traumatic memories and emotional experiences are stored not only in the mind but also in the body. By maintaining focus on these brainspots, individuals can access and process the unresolved emotional and physiological experiences associated with their distress.
