Frequently Asked Questions

I believe everyone deserves access to top-quality hypnotherapy. If my services are out of reach, please let me know during the phone consultation so that we may work out an alternative payment plan or connect you with other resources.

I also take on pro bono cases for low-income individuals as my schedule allows (up to 10 free sessions per person). You may request to be added to this waitlist.

Did you fall asleep last night? Have you ever missed your exit because you were on auto-pilot on the freeway? Have you ever lost track of time doing your favorite activity? Gotten totally immersed in a movie?

If you answered yes to anything above, then congratulations! You already know what it’s like to be in hypnosis.

Hypnosis is simply a highly receptive learning state where you are more suggestible than usual. Thus, we use it to teach your mind healthier, more positive ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving.

I like to use the analogy of a hiking trail.

When hiking, people follow the trail. It’s an easy-to-follow, clear pathway that makes us feel safe.

The subconscious mind works the same way. Our habits create neural pathways that are like hiking trails in the mind. We keep doing the same things whether or not we consciously want to.

In hypnosis, you are in a highly receptive and suggestible state. So we start clearing out stumps and rocks to build new and better pathways.

With time, the brain starts to automatically follow the new trails, the new neural pathways we’ve strengthened during hypnosis.

The old pathways with unwanted thoughts, feelings, and behaviors see less and less use. Eventually the grass grows back, mushrooms sprout up here and there, and the trail fades away.

Absolutely! Before video calling platforms were even invented, hypnotherapy via telephone was common practice.

Hypnosis works solely through listening. Virtual meetings eliminate the added stress, costs, and time that come with transportation.

The number of sessions needed depends on many variables. Some things resolve in 1-3 sessions, and others require a minimum of 3-6 sessions.

To speed up results, I encourage you to show up to every session and follow the self-directed neuroplasticity protocol I teach in the first session.

My gameplan is to get you OUT of my office and into the real world with your goals accomplished as soon as possible.

That being said, many clients choose to come back because they are ready to set new goals and grow even more! Or because they simply enjoy the continued support and relaxation. Hypnotherapy is like getting a massage for your mind.
