Please come in. I'm pretty sure that this is not the first therapist's (or hypnotist's) website you've looked at for hypnosis or counseling. Relax for a moment, this site is a little different. It's a simple site, pretty casual, and rather low on marketing hype. Unlike so many other folks in this field, I really try to prevent people from letting their struggles define their identity.
Occasionally upon being given a diagnosis the person can sometimes just get forgotten. I hate that. Like many other counselors, I spend time trying to make this world a better place by alleviating distress where I can. But I noticed that there were very few who openly work with more invisible issues.

Imagine putting a post-it note on your bathroom mirror that said, "I want to die a humiliating and painful death today." We don't say this to ourselves, but we do say bad things in our head. Others can be rude, but we can be vicious. Think about what you think. Do you say things to yourself that you wouldn't say to a child?
I tell people all the time, I don't even know your middle name, so I can't tell you what to do. But I'll sure as hell listen to you and see what my experience can bring to you. I'm mostly Milton Ericksonian in style, where you do much of the talking and I watch for cues. I'm perfectly comfortable with periods of silence - much of the brain work gets done during that time.
Few things knock us to the ground like grief and sadness. Hypnosis & counseling can help ease the course of grief, without eliminating the healing process that is a psychological requirement.
Having worked with Hospice, people living with HIV, and so many other cases of grief & heartache (job loss, divorce, mid-life crisis, death, betrayal, miscarriage, legal issues), I am well-versed in supporting people through education of the grieving process and ways to take the sting out of the experience without interfering with the stages.These sessions are more counseling than hypnosis, but the hypnosis portion is a very powerful adjunct.

Death is not simple. It is not my job nor desire to engage in political debates about what is right or wrong, the fact is that it happens and frequently we need to be able to talk about it. Consider, for a moment, a soldier or a law enforcement officer who has taken a life in the line of duty, and is being told by some that they should feel guilty, and by others that he did the right thing.
This is where I'm supposed to say that hypnosis is the panacea cure-all that can make the obese into supermodels, turn the depressed into millionaires, and the make the out-of-shape into marathon runners. Nope, sorry, that's not even close, so I'm not gonna say it. Hypnosis is only a tool that can help you (us) do these things, but it can't do it by itself.
