Psychotherapy / Hypnotherapy

What Is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a method of entering a mentally and physically relaxed state so that you can focus inside to access deeper levels of consciousness where the roots of your problems reside. A progressive relaxation process provides a simple and natural way to quiet your thinking mind and calm your body. Transformation takes place in this “trance” state because you are receptive to inner resources usually unavailable to your conscious awareness. With gentle guidance, you essentially learn to create this relaxation for yourself.

What To Expect
My compassionate psychotherapy and hypnotherapy sessions work gently and thoroughly to address the issues which are of concern to you and engage the presence of your own higher wisdom in the healing process. Instead of merely analyzing your problems, my work utilizes effective and efficient methods that deeply resolve the underlying issues creating your difficulties, making new resources available that result in more satisfying life patterns. This holistic approach acknowledges the mental, emotional, physical, energetic and spiritual aspects of your being and each session is personally tailored to fit your specific needs. The tools and resources you receive through your work with me enable you to transform conditioned ways of being so that you can create the life you want to experience.

Psychotherapy / Hypnotherapy Methods

Cellular Release Therapy™ (CRT)
This method of hypnotherapy deeply resolves and transforms the root cause of emotional difficulties and unsatisfactory life patterns. With this incredibly effective and efficient process, you can release the emotionally charged energy, feelings, beliefs and fears linked with traumatic experiences, deep psychological issues, and long-standing habits or behaviors without needing to remember or re-experience the painful events that created them. This is especially important with physical, emotional or sexual trauma because the individual does not become re-traumatized, adding more layers of dysfunction onto the body and subconscious mind. It is also helpful in cases where the memory of an issue’s root cause is kept from a person’s conscious awareness by protective biological mechanisms or where the client has experienced unconscious states, such as in a coma or under anesthesia during surgery, when imprints may be received directly into the subconscious mind without the individual's conscious knowledge.

The Effects Of Trauma
Much like the software installed on the hard drive of a computer, the subconscious mind receives, records and stores information and gives results based on that information. Whatever it takes in as fact becomes the basis for a belief, a conditioned way of behaving, or perhaps even the development of a physical illness. As traumatic experiences accumulate, they contaminate the natural intelligence of the body/mind and the subconscious brings forth results based on the distorted information it received from the original trauma and any reinforcement from subsequent events.

These painful experiences, whether physical or emotional, reside in the limbic system of the brain in such a way that we continue to react automatically to situations in the present day based on the memories of the past. Scientists now know that when adrenaline is released in the body in response to the stress and anxiety of these habitual reactions, it consolidates memories. This means that every time someone experiences this type of reaction based on the past, elements of the current event also become triggering stimuli. In this way, a person progressively incorporates more and more such stimuli as triggering mechanisms, increasingly losing conscious control of emotional states to a greater degree.

Because of this, there can be thousands of events or mental re-experiencing linked with a certain way of behaving, a belief or fear, too many for individuals to remember or hold in their conscious awareness at one time. Yet, each one of these experiences can contribute to a person’s presenting issue or physical problem. Unlike other types of therapy, where just one of these components is worked with per visit or over a period of years, with CRT people are able to release and transform many experiences in a single session.

How CRT Works
Based on an individual’s intention, CRT provides the healing information that allows the subconscious to release and clear emotionally charged material linked with trauma or other experiences. This restores the natural intelligence of the body/mind so that you can return to health and your true nature. CRT allows you to keep all the growth and life learning of your experiences, while safely resolving the detrimental elements involved. As the healing process naturally unfolds, I work gently and mindfully in helping you to align with your authentic self, respecting your own pace. Cellular Release Therapy™ also assists you in reclaiming psychological parts of yourself that may have become fragmented or frozen due to your life experience or trauma, so that you can manifest wholeness once again.

Dream Journeys
Rather than analytically interpreting your dreams, these sessions open your understanding to the information emerging from your subconscious by accessing your own feeling-intuitive wisdom and bodily felt sense.

Regression Therapy
This type of hypnotherapy session facilitates moving back in memory to earlier times in your life, such as a childhood event, to resolve past conditions that are affecting your present experience.

Past Life Regression
This type of hypnotherapy regression helps you resolve soul level patterns creating difficulties in your current life. You don’t need to believe in past lives to reap the benefits of this process. The experiences that emerge in these sessions can be viewed as metaphors for your life much like the symbolic content of dreams. Some individuals even interpret them as subconscious generational influences based on ancient genetic patterns. It is important to resolve and clear past life material as it arises rather than just remembering these events. This is because powerful subconscious forces are often accessed that can trigger emotional reactions if the issues involved aren’t addressed. For this reason, I always include complete resolution, clearing release and healing reframing in all the past life regressions I do.

Healing of the Incarnational Experience
This hypnotherapy session allows you to resolve issues originating from the time of conception through birth by clearing any negative influences and enabling you to imprint an entirely new experience in the subconscious mind. This reframed experience is designed to heal and support you for your highest good so that you can freely accomplish what you came here to do.

Energy Clearing & Soul Return
This session involves reclaiming fragmented or lost soul energy after releasing any psychic residue that is not your own. Sensitive or emotionally empathetic people are particularly susceptible to taking on other people’s energy. It can result in symptoms of depression, anxiety and compulsivity for which there is no apparent cause. Because children are very open and their energy centers are not yet fully developed, these forces often become attached early in life especially when the individual is controlled by a dysfunctional or abusive caretaker or there is other disharmony in the home. The Energy Clearing and Soul Return process can release these energies, creating a new sense of freedom and expansion.

Therapy Fees
My Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy sessions typically last two hours at $90 per hour ($180). Payment is due at the time of your session. If requested, I give you a monthly statement to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement if that is permissible as determined by your own individual policy or plan.
