I am a teacher; I integrate science with spirituality to teach my clients to identify their own issues, plan their own successes, and accomplish miracles in their lives. 

​

1. If you met me, you would not think I'm "woo-woo".

   1. I have a strong math/science background, and I am very analytical and organized.  I come across as focused, knowledgeable, and compassionate.

2. I am equally interested understanding the science behind why a spiritual practice works (like prayers, Past life Regression, Reiki, Shamanic Practices, Akashic Records, etc.) as I am in mastering the methods themselves.

   1. If you want to understand how or why these techniques are effective, I will be the one to explain it to you.

3. My spiritual practices are rooted in psychotherapeutic theory.​

   1. As a Mental Health Counseling student, the foundations of all of my client-sessions ​are based around the humanistic model of psychotherapy. I also draw very heavily on psychoanalytic, existential, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance & Compassion Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy

4. I'm a published academic researcher.​

   1. I have 5 publications related to cognitive neuroscience published in academic journals. I really mean it when I say I take a deep interest in understanding the science of spirituality.​

5. I've been through it too.​

   1. I came to these practices as part of my own journey of healing childhood Big T traumas, substance abuse​, depression, and anxiety. Talk therapy helped me identify the issues, but hypnotherapy, reiki, and shamanic practices helped me release these issues and move on.

6. I want you to learn​ the methods yourself

   1. If I'm doing my job right, I will be out of a job within a few sessions.​ I'm constantly reviewing and refreshing my techniques to provide more materials (handouts, homework, guided meditations) for my clients to support their individual learning style. My measure of success is how independent and supported my clients feel after our time has ended.

I combine both because I feel there are advantages to both and I don't want to short-change my clients by only experiencing one or the other.

​

Hypnotherapy:

• More approachable from a scientific perspective

  • Has been validated by academic research as effective in reducing anxiety and depressive symptoms in clients when combined with cognitive behavioral techniques (which is what we do together in my Inner Change Intensive & Deep Inner Change series)​

• Allows the client to be in control​

  • All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, so you are only able to go as deep as you want to​

• Teaches mindfulness as a byproduct​

  • Mindfulness is considered the "third wave" is psychotherapeutic approaches; mounting evidence supports the use of mindfulness in all coaching/therapeutic work​

• Allows the client to communicate with the subconscious mind​

  • Our subconscious controls much of our lived reality; if patterns are occurring in our reality that we do not prefer, that is simply because of a subconscious belief that is allowing this pattern to occur. Through a structured process, clients are able to ask the subconscious what that belief may be so it can be released. (Hint: in my experience, it is never the issue the client thinks it is when they first schedule an appointment; it is always something hidden which manifests as the presenting issue.)

​

Energy Healing:

• Releases deeply stored emotions

  • In an energy healing session, any dense energies stored within your biofield are released​

• Promotes relaxation in the client

  • Clients experience a deep sense of calm and relaxation during the session​

• Connects deep-seated beliefs to physical ailments

  • In shamanic work, any deep-seated beliefs about yourself or others are stored within your biofield and impact you ph​ysical body disrupting the functioning of the fascial membrane in certain areas of the body. The work of the shaman during illumination sessions is to release this belief and this dense energy to allow the fascia to operate freely

• Practitioner is the "expert"​

  • While this is true that I may have many more years' of training than the client, all people can learn to do this themselves​​

• Practitioner experiences intuitive messages the client may be unwilling/unable to notice​

  • Often tim​es, an intuitive message may come through which helps clarify an issue a client has struggled to articulate (even via hypnosis). For example, I often perceive "past life issues" which tell a story very similar to the client's current-day experience, but through a different lens which provides the client more clarity.

​

By combining these approaches, we are able to:

1. Allow the client to be in control.

2. Allow the client to communicate with subconscious mind to identify beliefs which may be causing unwanted patterns in life.

3. Client learns methods to release these beliefs (both at subconscious and physical level).

4. Client learns mindfulness exercises to carry forward.

5. Client learns to trust intuition and their own capacity for greatness.

I can help you with any of your life where you feel "stuck" or you don't know how to move forward.

​

I often see clients who are in talk-therapy and cannot move past the "knowing" of what their issue is; they can talk about it all day, but they don't know how to move past the stress & anxiety or unwanted coping mechanism. The combination of methods I employ helps these clients get to the root of the issue and move past it - with skills in hand to handle similar situations themselves when it is next presented.

​

I also see many clients undergoing a transitional life moment - career change, end of a relationship, death of a loved one - who feel lost or unsure of how to move forward. These major life events can leave you feeling overwhelmed, lost, and lonely. These are the times when we most desperately need to look inward for the answers; my guided approach helps you gently learn to look inward for those answers and how to trust what you are receiving.

This work is especially helpful if:

​

• You’ve tried therapy, self-help, or other methods but still feel stuck

• You’re looking for natural approaches to anxiety and stress relief

• You're looking for natural approaches to chronic pain, elevated blood pressure, weight gain, or other medical issue

• You’re open to working with both the subconscious mind and the body

• You want more than temporary relief—you want lasting change

​

Clients often come in searching for anxiety relief, stress reduction, chronic pain support, or improved clarity & focus—and stay because the work addresses the root patterns driving those experiences.
