After receiving my undergraduate degree in Psychology and my Master's degree in Social Work, I am thrilled to have found the perfect medium to support people in their journey towards health and well-being. Hypnotherapy is so results-oriented, and works so quickly and gently, that it is an excellent fit with my passion of supporting others to make positive change in their lives.
My diverse background working with many different people in myriad life stages and circumstances enables me to meet all of my clients where they are. I am also skilled at creating a warm, supportive, peaceful space for my clients to achieve their goals. I am continually amazed by the gentleness and efficacy of hypnotherapy at breaking up unwanted barriers that hold us back from health, goals, and dreams.

Hypnotherapy takes advantage of the ability of your mind, when in a state of hypnosis, to shift deeply held belief systems and to make new associations and brain connections. This means real, results-oriented change in your life! You will work one on one with Michelle over the course of multiple sessions with a program tailored to meet your specific goals.
Hypnosis is a naturally occurring brain state, distinct from conscious and unconscious states, including sleep. We all experience this state naturally several times each day - when falling asleep at night, for example. When you are 'in the zone' or 'zoning out', you are in a state of light hypnosis.

Follow Up Review: Just want to put this out there for any skeptics that may be hesitant to try hypnotherapy...it's been over a year and a half since my sessions and I have ZERO recurring issues with the problems I had Neal help me overcome. I was worried that I wouldn't have long term success but I am thrilled to report that I have been happier and more emotionally healthy than I've ever been. I've had family and friends over the last year compliment the fact that I no longer have the same emotional hang ups I used to and how much happier I am. This is all the proof I need to

I didn't know exactly what to expect, but hypnotherapy isn't what I thought it would be. It's basically like a guided meditation that is specific to your issues. It's very relaxing and I remembered everything.
Michelle helped me with sugar cravings. The treatments were not immediate but over the course of a few it has made a big difference. I no longer feel driven by sugar cravings. There were other things that shifted for me also, things I didn't necessarily even tell her about.
It was a good experience and I recommend Michelle.

I've had 4 hypnotherapy sessions so far and the results are phenomenal! I have been able to avoid sugar to a large extent and to be much more mindful about eating so that I don't feel compulsive anymore. Michelle has also helped me work on my grief after losing my mom. Going into trance is such a beautiful and calming experience that it really helped with my sadness. It's amazing how much hypnotherapy has helped with those emotions. And lastly, we have worked on helping me get more organized. I've just finished cleaning out a closet and all my files and all my office paperwork

I've gone to therapy before for help and hopefully some guidance and peace of mind from my worries, and everyday anxieties. I would just end up being prescribed something for depression/anxiety and sent on my way.
After 4 sessions with Michelle... This is so cliche, but I had a breakthrough. I feel different, better; like I have a clean surface where there was once a mess.
I am so happy I made the decision to try something new. Hypnotherapy is not what you're most likely thinking it is. Even if you're the slightest bit curious, go in for a free consultation just for more information

If you have any type of insomnia or sleep issues, I recommend that you reach out to Michelle ASAP! Her practice has generated quite a bit of interest so there may be some lead time before your first appointment but it is worth the wait. Before my visits with Michelle, I had been taking prescription sleep medications for a couple of years and started to feel the need to keep increasing my dose. Instead, I came across her business on Yelp and decided to give it try. I am so thankful that I did! I saw immediate results and have not taken a single sleeping pill since our first session. That's

I wanted to try this after a significant weight loss to see if she could help me with sugar addiction and a couple other food related issues. Michelle is VERY KIND, if you watch the video on her website, she is EXACTLY as appears, so many times you encounter someone from an advertisement and they are so different. I'm so thankful I tried this and met Michelle, she truly is a wonderful lady and VERY good at hypnotherapy, I was comfortable immediately and thru each session. she's very calming and has a very relaxing voice. If you are considering it, TRY IT. I highly recommend Lockett hypnotherapy

I saw Michelle earlier this year to get help with ongoing struggles with social anxiety and procrastination, and had a fantastic experience!
Michelle is an extremely relaxing person to be around. She is warm, inviting, and completely non-judgmental. They hypnotherapy itself is not at all what I imagined (i.e. you won't end up clucking around the room like a chicken), and is extremely relaxing in and of itself. And, I think it actually works. After just a couple of sessions, I experienced pretty fundamental shifts in the way that I saw and approached life in general. I saw a notable change

I was lucky enough to find Michelle online having never tried hypnotherapy before. On my first visit she was professional, warm, friendly, nonjudgemental and knowledgable. She explained how hypnotherapy works in a simple and easy to understand way and made me feel confident in her abilities.
I've worked with her for 5 sessions (so far!) and 4 of those sessions were focused on getting over a pretty emotionally traumatizing event that took place when I was 16 years old. It affected my relationships with others, my relationship with myself as far as self love and self worth and not feeling that

Michelle is amazing. I can't recommend her more highly than I do. Hypnotherapy is a really valuable tool for accessing and healing our minds. Michelle understands the complexity of the conscious-subconscious dynamic of the mind, and she has a great skill for opening us up to let our minds heal themselves. Her personality and demeanor are soothing, calming, and accepting.
When my first child was born, I had a bad experience with labor and delivery. Although my son was soon healthy and we were able to take him home a few days after his birth, the experience I had left me anxious and traumatized

I am a long time believer in the art and usefulness of hypnotherapy. When I decided it was time to get some help with my weight loss and recent separation I googled and yelped for a local hynotherapist. When I saw Michelle's picture I knew I had an instant rapport with her and we hadn't even met yet.
From my first email with Michelle I knew I was going to be a winner! She is warm, understanding, an excellent listener and gifted at her therapy work. I am seeing amazing changes in myself for the better. Weight loss is going gang busters and putting my old, bad habits aside is so easy with

I recently had 4 sessions with Michelle for my anxiety and panic attacks. I am so pleased with the results. I feel so much more calm. It's a blessing. I am completely organic so I wanted a solution where I didn't have to put chemicals into my body to feel normal. I can honestly say this helped me out so much! I was so worried at first because having anxiety does that to you, but she made me feel so safe and I can't thank her enough!

There is something about Michelle's listening that is profound. She is with you in a way most are not. Hypnosis was truly easeful and freeing. I always felt like my time spent was worthwhile even if in the moment it felt unclear how it would provide more freedom and/or clarity to not participate anxiously in my endevours. But as the days between our appointments unfolded I would notice fluidity and ease that wasn't there before. I didn't have to "work" on letting go or "being better" about behaviors, they just we're not there as much and the angst about certain

I began seeing Michelle for help with some anxiety I was experiencing as well as unhealthy cravings, I believed as a result of exhaustion with a baby. It truly, and literally was a sensational, almost instant different with seeing her. It couldn't have been more than a few visits before I felt worlds better. I looked forward to going so much. It was this incredibly peaceful, transcendent hour to myself in such a relaxing space. My mind felt lighter, my anxiety was better. I slept better. I felt more balanced. I suggest hypnotherapy to everyone now.

Michelle is a wonderful, nurturing, and professional hypnotherapist. She has helped me manage and overcome a number of issues in my life- anxiety, sleeping issues, and confidence, to name a few. With her guidance, I have had the opportunity to rid myself of self-depreciating habits, and blossom into the confident and calm woman I have always wanted to be. I highly recommend her services. Thank you Michelle!

I've been seeing Michelle for several weeks now and I couldn't be more pleased with her work. Didn't really know how well hypnosis works and how well it could make me feel!! I feel like a new person who is now free to live and enjoy my life, husband, daughter and my current pregnancy. She's got the most soothing personality! Just entering her office makes you feel that everything is going to be all right!!!
Aside from working wonders, she's the sweetest person and was always open to my sometimes challenging schedule.
Thanks Michelle for being so awesome and helping me

Michelle has been helping me with anxiety and productivity issues. She has helped me make tremendous strides both at work as well as with my extended family.
The holidays were completely different this year than most years. I was confident and calm and settled dealing with my family.
She is warm and knowledgeable and professional.
