Work With Me

Hypnotherapy and Coaching | Seattle and Virtual Sessions Nationwide

If you've landed here, something has brought you to this moment. Maybe you've tried other approaches. Maybe you're new to this kind of work and curious. Maybe you just know, deep down, that something needs to change — and you're ready to actually do something about it.

Whatever brought you here, you're in the right place.

How I Work — Hypno-Coaching

My approach is called Hypno-Coaching — an integration of clinical hypnotherapy and transformational coaching that works on both levels of the mind simultaneously.

Most approaches work with either the conscious mind (talk therapy, coaching, CBT) or the subconscious mind (hypnotherapy). Hypno-Coaching works with both — at the same time — because lasting transformation requires both.

Here's what that means in practice:

•       Hypnotherapy accesses the subconscious mind — where your habits, beliefs, emotional patterns, and automatic responses actually live. This is where real change begins.

•       Coaching works with the conscious mind — building awareness, developing new frameworks, creating actionable tools and strategies that support and reinforce the subconscious work.

•       Together they create change that is felt from the inside out — not just behavioral shifts, but genuine identity-level transformation.

Combining coaching with hypnotherapy makes for a wonderfully well rounded, holistic approach to wellness. Every session integrates both. There is really no separation between the two — they happen together, naturally, in a way that is tailored entirely to you.

The Modalities

My work draws on several powerful and complementary core approaches — each chosen because of what it uniquely contributes to the process of deep, lasting change. However beyond these core modalities, I draw on a range of additional techniques — including EFT, somatic tools, breath work, and eye movement integration — weaving in whatever best serves each individual client and their unique process.

Hypnosis

Hypnosis in a therapeutic setting is not what you may expect it to be - as you've likely seen it in movies or on stage. It's a completely natural state of being — one you move in and out of every day without realizing it. That deeply absorbed feeling when you're reading a book, driving a familiar route, or drifting in the space between sleep and waking awareness — that's hypnosis.

In a guided hypnotic state, the critical conscious mind relaxes and steps back, allowing us to work directly with the subconscious — where your patterns, beliefs, and emotional responses actually live. You are always aware, always in control, and always able to bring yourself back to full waking consciousness at any moment.

Most people experience it as the most relaxed they've felt in years.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy uses the hypnotic state therapeutically — as a doorway into the subconscious mind where real and lasting change can happen.

Throughout our lives, every experience — positive and negative — shapes our perception of reality. Our subconscious mind builds beliefs, assumptions, and emotional responses based on these experiences, and then applies them automatically whenever similar situations arise. Often these patterns were formed in childhood or adolescence, when we had limited perspective and resources — and they continue running long after they've stopped being useful.

Hypnotherapy accesses these patterns directly, releases what no longer serves you, and creates space for new, healthier beliefs and ways of being to take root. Often, simply seeing the original pattern clearly from an honest, resourced place is enough to change it permanently.

NLP — Neuro-Linguistic Programming

NLP is the study of how the language of your mind — your thoughts, images, internal dialogue, and the meanings you attach to your experiences — shapes your reality and your behavior.

Where hypnotherapy works primarily with the subconscious, NLP works at the intersection of conscious and subconscious — giving us precise tools to identify and shift the specific thought patterns, mental frameworks, and internal representations that are driving unwanted behaviors and limiting beliefs.

In practice, NLP often accelerates the hypnotherapy work — helping clients not just release old patterns but actively install new, more empowering ways of thinking and responding.

Used Together

Hypnosis, hypnotherapy, and NLP are not separate treatments — in my sessions they weave together naturally, each amplifying the others. Combined with coaching, they create a uniquely powerful process that works at every level simultaneously: subconscious and conscious, emotional and behavioral, identity and action. You will leave our sessions with tools for immediate use - helping you gain greater awareness and control in not only the issues you want help with, but usable for all areas of your life.

We are designed to heal. We are designed to move in the direction of health, wellbeing, and our own highest potential. Sometimes we just need the right tools — and the right guide — to remember that.
