Why Therapy?
Therapy gives you space—real space. A place to breathe, to think, and to grow in a way that feels different from the rest of your life. Most of what we deal with happens in the middle of everything else—work, school, family, relationships. There’s pressure, performance, expectations. In therapy, the risk drops. The judgment fades. You don’t have to explain everything, fix it, or hide it. You get to be honest—sometimes for the first time in a long time.
It’s not always tidy, simple, or even the same for everyone. Sometimes it’s quiet, sometimes it’s messy, sometimes it’s hard. But it is always yours. It’s one of the few spaces where you don’t have to perform, pretend, or protect other people’s comfort. You just get to show up as you are—and figure out who that really is.
Therapy isn’t a quick fix. You have to be ready. It’s not for everyone at every moment, and that’s okay. It takes effort, curiosity, and the willingness to get honest with yourself. That honesty can be emotional, revealing, even exhausting at times. But it can also be incredibly freeing.
Because the more you know yourself, the more clearly you start to see your options. You get to make decisions with intention instead of reaction. You begin to write your future on purpose.
So, are you ready?
What is hypnosis, though?
Let’s clear this up right away: hypnosis is not mind control. It’s not stage tricks, swinging watches, or me taking over your brain. I’m not “walking around in your mind,” and you won’t do anything embarrassing (no chicken clucking, unless that’s a great desire you have… and if it is, you can do that all on your own).
Hypnosis is a therapeutic tool—one that uses focused attention, guided imagery, and changes in mental state to help you connect more deeply with your thoughts, emotions, and goals. It’s not a separate thing from therapy; it’s something we might use within therapy, depending on what you’re working on. Think of it as another way to explore the same terrain, just using a different vehicle.
You’re fully in control the entire time. You can speak, move, stop, or change direction at any point. You’re not unconscious or unaware—if anything, you're more attuned to your inner world than usual. And while I guide the process, I don’t “see” into your mind. I don’t plant ideas. I don’t decide your goals. You do.
In fact, how hypnosis works depends much more on you than on me. Everyone has different hypnotic strengths, and not every part of a session will feel equally powerful. But the parts that do land? They can lead to deep insights, behavior change, or shifts in how you relate to yourself. It’s not magic—but it can feel powerful.
Like all therapy, hypnosis is about supporting your autonomy, your insight, and your growth. You’re still doing the work. You’re still making the choices. This is just one more way to help you get where you want to go—with more clarity and often, a bit more speed.
Are you going to Change who I am?
No—and honestly, I couldn’t even if I wanted to. That’s not what therapy is for. I’m not here to reshape you into someone else. That would be unethical, unkind, and completely missing the point.
Therapy isn’t about fixing what isn’t broken. It’s about creating space to uncover who you truly are—underneath the noise, the pressure, the fear. It’s about reconnecting with your values, your voice, and the life that actually fits you.
I will never push you toward something that doesn’t feel true. But I will challenge what’s harmful—especially the patterns that hurt you or the people you care about. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s honesty. When we’re honest with ourselves, we tend to show up in healthier, more meaningful ways in our lives and relationships.
This work is about becoming more you—not less.
