“As long as you keep secrets and suppress information, you are fundamentally at war with yourself… The critical issue is allowing yourself to know what you know. That takes an enormous amount of courage.” — Bessel A. van der Kolk

Important Note
Hypnotherapy is offered only within the scope of psychotherapy and is not a stand-alone medical or psychological treatment. It is intended as a supportive, mind-body approach for emotional healing and self-growth.
🌿 Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy®
A Gentle, Heart-Based Path to Healing
Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy® is a calm, compassionate process that helps you reconnect with the parts of yourself that know how to heal.
It’s not about “losing control” or being “put under.” It’s about gently quieting the busy, analytical mind so your deeper wisdom can be heard the wisdom that often gets buried under stress, fear, and old patterns.
In this relaxed, focused state, your mind and body can begin to release what they’ve been holding. You remain fully aware and in charge the whole time. My role is simply to guide and support you as you rediscover your own natural capacity for healing and peace.
How Hypnotherapy Works
Hypnosis is a completely natural state your brain already knows the same kind of calm focus you might feel when you’re lost in a book, driving on “autopilot,” or daydreaming.
During a session, we use this state intentionally to access the subconscious mind the deeper part of you that holds emotional memories, habits, and protective patterns.
When we bring curiosity and compassion to that space, you can:
Uncover the roots of anxiety, trauma, or stress
Reframe outdated beliefs about yourself or your worth
Release emotions that have been stored in the body
Create new ways of thinking, feeling, and responding
You’ll always be awake and aware, able to talk, move, or stop at any time. Hypnotherapy isn’t about control it’s about connection.
Why Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy® Is Different
Traditional hypnotherapy focuses on suggestion and change. Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy® goes a step deeper focusing on emotional healing and inner safety.
Together, we’ll work to:
Build a sense of calm and trust within yourself
Heal core emotional wounds from past experiences
Reconnect with your “wise self” and inner strength
Replace shame, guilt, or fear with understanding and self-compassion
This process helps you shift long-standing patterns and experience healing that lasts not just temporary relief.
What Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy® Can Help With
What Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy® Can Help With
Emotional & Physical Healing
Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy® can support healing from emotional and body-based symptoms that often feel hard to “think” your way out of:
Anxiety, panic, or chronic stress — when your mind feels stuck in overdrive and your body can’t relax.
Trauma, grief, or attachment wounds — safely releasing the emotional charge from painful memories or losses.
Depression or emotional numbness — helping you reconnect with motivation, joy, and purpose.
Fatigue, headaches, or muscle tension that persist even when you “should” feel fine.
Stress-related physical issues like stomach pain, IBS, or tightness in the chest.
Feeling disconnected from your body or emotions — learning to trust your inner experience again.
Habit & Behavior Change
Many habits begin as ways to soothe, protect, or cope. Hypnotherapy helps uncover why they formed and gives you space to meet those needs in healthier ways.
Smoking, vaping, or overeating — understanding the emotional comfort these provide and releasing their grip.
Stress or emotional eating — learning to listen to your body’s cues rather than its triggers.
Drinking, screen use, or social media overuse — breaking the cycle of numbing or escape with self-awareness.
Phobias and fears — easing anxiety around driving, flying, public speaking, social interactions, or medical procedures.
Insomnia or restless nights — teaching the mind and body to unwind into natural rest.
Procrastination or perfectionism — shifting the inner dialogue that says “I’m not ready” or “It has to be perfect.”
People-pleasing or overgiving — breaking patterns of guilt and learning to say “no” with self-respect.
Compulsive thoughts or body-focused habits — such as hair pulling, skin picking, or nail biting.
Chronic self-sabotage — when you know what you want but somehow keep getting in your own way.
Money or success blocks — releasing subconscious beliefs about worthiness, fear of failure, or visibility.
Personal Growth & Resilience
Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy® isn’t only for healing pain it’s also for nurturing growth, clarity, and inner peace.
Building confidence and self-worth — quieting self-doubt and remembering who you truly are.
Cultivating calm under pressure — responding rather than reacting in stressful moments.
Enhancing focus and performance — for artists, athletes, performers, and professionals who want to stay in flow.
Improving motivation and follow-through — aligning your goals with your deeper values.
Healing your relationship with yourself — transforming inner criticism into compassion.
Navigating life transitions — such as divorce, career changes, parenthood, or loss.
Rediscovering creativity, connection, and joy — unblocking emotional energy so your natural inspiration can flow.
Exploring meaning or spirituality — deepening your connection with intuition, faith, or a sense of purpose.
Strengthening boundaries and authenticity — learning to show up as your full, honest self.
Inviting more peace, presence, and heart into daily life.

What to Expect in a Session
1. Creating Safety and Clarity
We start by talking about what’s bringing you in and what you’d like to experience. I’ll answer your questions and explain each step so you feel informed and comfortable.
2. Guided Relaxation
Using breathwork, visualization, or gentle grounding, I’ll help you enter a relaxed yet focused state. You’ll stay aware and can pause anytime. Safety and consent guide the entire process.
3. Therapeutic Exploration
From this calm state, we can gently explore subconscious patterns that shape your emotions and reactions. Together, we may revisit and release stored emotion, reframe old beliefs, or connect with the inner parts of you that carry wisdom, strength, and love.
4. Integration and Reflection
You’ll come back to full alertness feeling grounded and clear. We’ll talk about what came up and discuss simple ways to integrate the healing such as journaling, mindfulness, or self-soothing tools.
Many clients notice subtle but meaningful shifts between sessions calmer thoughts, lighter emotions, more restful sleep, or new clarity about choices and relationships.
What It Feels Like
Most people describe hypnosis as deep relaxation with awareness.
You might notice your body feeling peaceful while your mind becomes more open and focused.
You’re never asleep or unaware you’re simply in a state where your inner world becomes easier to access and transform.
Even light levels of hypnosis can create change; what matters most is your openness and willingness to explore.
Why It Works
The subconscious mind stores memories, emotions, and beliefs that shape how we experience life. When we connect with this deeper part of ourselves, we can address challenges at their root not just manage the symptoms.
Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy® helps you:
Release old emotional patterns held in the body
Rewire limiting beliefs with compassion and truth
Reconnect with your heart and authentic self
Healing happens gently, layer by layer like watering roots so the whole tree can grow strong and balanced again.
Modern research supports hypnotherapy as an effective tool for anxiety, trauma recovery, pain management, and habit change. It’s a safe, evidence-based, and deeply human approach to healing.
Between Sessions
Many people find that healing continues to unfold between sessions.
You may receive brief recordings, journaling prompts, or mindfulness practices to support your integration and growth.
These tools help your mind and body reinforce new patterns of calm, safety, and self-trust.
Confidentiality
Your privacy matters. All sessions are confidential and protected under HIPAA guidelines.
If collaboration with another provider could support your care, we’ll discuss and agree on that together.
A Closing Thought
Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy® is more than a technique it’s a compassionate journey back to yourself.
It invites you to slow down, listen inward, and rediscover the peace and strength that have always been within you.
You remain the driver. I’m here to help guide the way safely, gently, and with your heart at the center of every step.
