Let’s work together
Whether it’s anxiety, a broken heart, or something else entirely, you don’t have to go through this alone anymore.
Most trauma or stress cycles back to a narcissist or self-serving person in your past or present. You can feel like there’s no hope or that there’s too much damage for you to feel better. There’s hope.
I’ll work with you one-on-one to find the best solution for your needs. Whether it’s video or telephone, I’ll create personalized strategies. Connect now and bring peace into your life again.
Featured Expert
I am often sought-out by the media to speak about current events or trends in psychotherapy, trauma recovery or finance therapy.
(more about me below)
Psychotherapy
Hypnotherapy offers a faster, affordable option that is a proven strategy to help bring solutions and change to otherwise uncomfortable situations.
Coaching
Coaching is customized to fit nearly any situation and helps motivate and bring connection with goals and ongoing support for focus and results.
Meditation
Meditation is an ancient practice with a solid scientific backing which offers a balance-centric experience to manage change and transformation.
Hypnotherapy, explained.
Visualize an iceberg. Consciousness is only 5-10% of our experience above the surface. The rest of that 90-95% is in the subconscious, and includes our habits, emotions, motivations, deep-seated thought and behavioral patterns, and even nervous system functioning. Even our greatest gifts and power might be dormant in the subconscious and the body, waiting to be tapped into.
The subconsious is the most effective way to release pain and reveal transformation.

How can I help?
INNER WORLD
Address anxiety, calm stress, overcome irrational fear, address PTSD, ADHD, and tackle past trauma. This is also a space to focus on weight loss, mindful eating, breaking habits and imrpoving sleep. I might use skills from EMDR, Neuro/Biofeedback, art and bibliotherapy.
ONGOING SUPPORT
Appointments are scheduled no more than once a week and last up to one hour. After your first visit, you will receive a free recording to reinforce your success. After your first three sessions, you may schedule weekly, bi-weekly or monthly and attend the free support group.
EXTERNAL WORLD
Romantic, family and business relationships are the core of our environment. Learn to manage difficult people, speak with charisma, gain confidence in uncomfortable situations and heal heartbreak. Also, learn to spot and deflect narcissists.
PRICING
I offer a vareity of confidential video and telephone sessions plans, from single session to discounted packages. Support group is complimentary for clients after three sessions.
