Personal Philosophy
The majority of us are very capable of overcoming challenges and improving our lives, by learning how to harness our own power and wisdom. Through the integration of professional hypnosis and coaching strategies, motivated clients are empowered to initiate positive change, feel confident in their ability to overcome hurdles, and reach their goals. I view myself as an educator, a facilitator, a guide—someone who enables people to tap into the power of the mind for self-improvement and increased well-being. Hypnosis can achieve dramatic results, but it is never my intention to present it as a magic bullet. Success depends, in large part, on each client’s level of commitment and the effort she is willing to invest. It gives me great satisfaction to play a role in enhancing the quality of life for others. These services are appropriate for ”ordinary” people facing "ordinary" life challenges—and are not intended to take the place of medical care or psychotherapy. I respect my clients’ privacy and adhere to ethical standards set forth by the National Guild of Hypnotists.
