Hypnosis is a naturally occuring state of mind that you experience every day when you are just waking up or about to fall asleep. It happens when you are relaxed; perhaps, you are absorbed by your thoughts while driving, the storyline in a favorite show or book, or the music you put on when you want to unwind. Being in this state allows the conscious mind to take a break and makes your subconscious mind particularly open to suggestion.

Hypnotherapy accesses the subconscious mind to bring about positive change, and it can be used in so many ways. It can reduce or eliminate common anxieties, including public speaking, flying, sports or academic performance, fear of heights, and many more.

Hypnotherapy is also helpful for improving sleep or changing unwanted habits (such as smoking, gambling, emotional eating), and replacing them with healthy behaviors (such as adding exercise or more fruits and veggies to your daily routine). It is also noteworthy that hypnotherapy can be used in pain and stress management, and it can speed your recovery after an injury or surgery.

In your first session, you'll share your goals and challenges, and we'll outline a personalized path forward. It's a time for us to get to know each other and create a foundation of trust. I will provide some education on what hypnosis entails and answer any questions you have.

Then I'll guide you through some progressive relaxation exercises. When you are feeling very relaxed, I'll make some suggestions to your subconscious about the goal you have set for yourself. I will conclude the session by teaching you how to perform self-hypnosis so you can practice the techniques you've learned in between sessions. Because of the many areas we cover, our initial session may take up to two hours. 

The initial session can take up to 2 hours, and my rate for that is 300. Subsequent sessions generally take an hour, and my rate for that is 200. The number of sessions required is dependent on the goal and the client's committment to using self-hypnotic strategies between sessions. A minimum of 3 to 5 sessions is required to establish new neural pathways in the brain, which will solidify the desired changes.

I do not accept medical insurance.  However, I can provide a receipt containing all of the necessary information for you to submit to insurance to be applied toward your deductible or for out-of-network reimbursement.  I can also provide a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) and a receipt, which you can submit to a Healthcare Spending Account (HSA), Flexible Spending Account (FSA), or Health Reimbursement Account (HRA).
