I combine therapeutic hypnosis with insight-oriented therapy to help my clients unlock their true potential.

There was a time when I truly believed that my own mind was my worst enemy. To those around me I was an outgoing and ambitious college student, but deep down I was engaged in a constant battle with myself just to make it through the day. My journey to understand and heal my inner reality ultimately led me to hypnotherapy. Because of misrepresentations by stage performers and media tropes, hypnosis is unfortunately often misunderstood and overlooked. But the reality is that in the hands of a trained professional, modern hypnotherapy is a safe, effective, and empowering modality backed by over 100 years of clinical research and therapeutic success. In fact, the proven effectiveness of clinical hypnosis in reducing anxiety, increasing self-esteem, and alleviating both mental and physical pain makes it a first-choice treatment for many clients and healing professionals. But what continues to impress me the most about hypnosis is how it helps us to become more in tune with our inner selves as a way to heal ourselves. As I continued to explore hypnosis and diligently practiced what I learned within my own life, not only did I free myself from my symptoms, I also understood myself and my own mind in a deeper, more authentic, and immensely fulfilling way.

In addition to hypnotherapy, my approach is further informed by my background in existential and depth-oriented psychology.

I emphasize a holistic understanding of the background, values, goals, and needs of the whole individual. We are much more than our symptoms. We are all caretakers of an intricate life story that is constantly evolving, and I firmly believe that by learning to understand and make sense of this story we gain an ability to choose a future that more authentically aligns with our true selves.

I am a counselor-in-training currently under the supervision of my master’s program and Christopher Jenkin, M.A., LPA, LPC-S.

I have completed professional training in the practice of clinical hypnotherapy from both the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH) and the Central Texas Society of Clinical Hypnosis (CTSCH) and retain professional memberships in each society. I have also received formal training in Jungian psychotherapy and dream analysis sponsored by the Jung Center of Houston. I make it a central goal of mine to continue to develop my skills daily to ensure my continued growth as a person and professional.
