Expertise
My clinical strengths.
Over the years I have worked with clients on a variety of issues and have discovered my strengths in helping others. If you are looking to heal from any of the following concerns listed below reach out for a free consultation to discuss further.
Self Love
How do I know if I love myself or not? Scan your relationships with others and yourself. If your inner critic is very active, you talk down to yourself, and find yourself in relationships where others don’t respect you or treat you well, there may be a block preventing unconditional self-love. If you put a lot of pressure on yourself to achieve while struggling with self-care and self-compassion, this may be another sign.
Learning to love ourselves is a process, especially if we feel like we don’t deserve it. Often we have subconscious beliefsbased on past experiences surrounding these events. Our younger parts hold onto the pain and need help to let it go and create a new belief. Internal family systems (IFS), practicing compassion and mindfulness alongside hypnotherapy is the path towards unconditional love for ourselves. It’s not about just thinking about it, it's about feeling it and embodyingself-love.
Psycho-Somatic Symptoms
Often our physical ailments can be linked to an unresolved emotional issue. For example, I have treated clients with severe sciatic nerve pain where they find symptom relief in one hypnotherapy session. When we release the trapped emotions (i.e.- shock, unprocessed grief, fear, etc.) stored in the physical body, we can heal physical ailments. The emotional release helps the body to let go of the somatic expression.
Many physical complaints tend to have emotional root causes. Not every physical ailment will be healed with hypnotherapy/hypnosis, however, many issues can be. If you feel as if your physical pain or other symptom is psychological in nature we can explore that via hypnotherapy.

Relationship Recovery
Many of us have experienced trauma in the form of relationships. This can involve our primary caregivers, or perhaps an ex-partner or boss. Cognitively we can understand how the other person that harmed us may have unhealed aspects of themselves at play. However, a cognitive understanding isn’t always the full complete path to healing.
If you still experience startling responses, spend a lot of time thinking about how to avoid relationship-based conflict, and don’t trust yourself or your decisions (seeking validation from others), you may need to heal.
This is where EMDR therapy and Hypnotherapy are very helpful in transforming trauma from the experience itself. We work towards creating a whole brain state with these tools. The goal is to feel safe again in our body and also trust ourselves and our behavioral decisions around relationships. So often learning to trust ourselves again is vital and the tools I use and teach help to rebuild that trust.
Fears and Phobias
Healing from fears and phobias often requires addressing their root causes, which may be hidden in the unconscious mind or linked to past traumatic experiences. When we live in fear or make decisions out of fear we often regret them. Fear blocks our heart center and can also block our intuition.
When we are in fight/flight mode we are focused on surviving. Fear causes us to have racing thoughts, and ruminate and can lead to anxiety, panic, and avoidance of our problems. When we are focused on surviving our mind and body can’tfocus on thriving. Getting to the root cause of our fears helps us to release them and let them go. When we are no longer afraid we can take risks, be vulnerable, and choose love over fear.
EMDR, EFT & Hypnosis are incredible tools to identify our fears and to let them go. We can re-wire our experiences and perceptions. This helps us to feel more empowered and reconnect to ourselves.
Regression Therapy/Past Life Regression
Past life regression is a unique therapeutic approach that can bring about profound emotional and spiritual healing. By accessing memories of past lives, individuals may uncover unresolved traumas or patterns that continue to influence their current experiences.
This process can help address persistent fears, phobias, or emotional blockages that may not have a clear origin in the present life. By revealing these past experiences, individuals can gain deeper insight into their current challenges, relationships, and behaviors, allowing them to break negative cycles and release long-held emotional burdens.
Additionally, past life regression can foster greater self-awareness, providing clarity on talents, strengths, and spiritual purpose that transcend the present life. It also facilitates healing at a soul level, helping individuals to let go of karmic attachments and promoting personal growth and spiritual awakening. By exploring these deeper layers of the unconscious, past life regression empowers individuals to heal, transform, and live with a greater sense of peace and purpose.
A Soul Led Path
Some clients want help to understand their higher purpose and reason for being here. There is a desire to shift perspective when it comes to our challenges. How is this happening for me vs. to me? How can I make a difference in the world? How do I start the process to live more authentically?
Sometimes this personal growth, or what I like to call soul growth, shows up in the form of something called a Dark Night of the Soul. Carl Jung called it a “Night Sea Journey”. This is when an external event(s) forces us to go inward and explore our shadow selves, our structures, and our psyche. This is an intense alchemical process that can be trying and painful. It is not however the same as a depressive episode or grief. It is different and can often include symptoms of what I call “mystical depression”. If you are going through a Dark Night you may feel isolated and hopeless or lost (but not suicidal).
This type of inner journey can be very isolating. It is important to have support and to understand what this challenge is asking of you. Therapy can allow for space to consider bigger life questions such as How are these current challenges helping me? What have I been neglecting or avoiding in my life? How will this process bring me closer to my truth?
Tools like hypnosis and regressive techniques can help you connect with your soul and your heart center to assist in answering these questions. Transpersonal hypnotherapy allows for the inclusion of our soul in clinical work.
