I focus on discovering and healing the CAUSES of your issue. You can't fix a problem until you know the causes. My Approach Do you have an issue that affects your life, yet no matter how hard you try to fix it, long-term success eludes you? Perhaps you've tried a medical approach, counseling, pharmaceuticals, acupuncture, self-help books or motivational programs. Yet, despite the optimistic promises, your issue persists--or returns. Why is that? Most likely these professionals have been treating the symptoms, not the cause. Do you even know the the cause or causes of your issue? Most clients I see initially do not. Yet, those same people would expect a mechanic to diagnose the cause before working on their vehicle, right? How can something be fixed without knowing the cause? But diagnosing the cause is only the first step. If the mechanic doesn't have the knowledge, tools or parts to fix it--you are still out of luck! This is why 90% of weight-loss programs fail long term. The same is true for drug and alcohol rehab. This is also why people who take two-hours to fall asleep, or are afraid to drive on freeways just try to make do. Why people give up on dating or relationships--or sex. Why people repeatedly self-sabotage, or are afraid to even try to live to their potential. And, when they do push themselves to do something difficult, they may have a panic attack! For some, speaking at a meeting or doing a class presentation creates terrible anxiety. There are causes for these problems--and I've successfully treated them all. Most likely, the solution won't be found in a prescription pill or a wine bottle. Quite simply, the problem is in their subconscious, and they have no access to it in their day-to-day life. Neither do most other healthcare professionals. If you'd like to understand how hypnotherapy works and see independent assessments of its effectiveness, this recent Forbes article will be very helpful: "Hypnosis: Is It Worth The Hype ?" < Back

Do you procrastinate? Quit before achieving your goals? Feel worthless? Hypnotherapy helped thousands of others, why not you? Self-Sabotage There are a variety of ways some people sabotage their lives and success. They may engage in unhealthy behaviors like overeating , smoking, heavy drinking or drug abuse. Others establish relationships with abusive partners or those who continually create drama. The sabotage of one's education and career are also common. This manifests as quitting when it gets difficult, getting into arguments with the teacher or boss, lateness or absenteeism, procrastination, or an inability to finish tasks or projects. Even though this tendency expresses itself in myriad ways, at the core is usually a problem with self-esteem. If your self-image is one of a "loser," or "failure," or someone who is "powerless" to improve your circumstances, your subconscious will encourage you to have experiences that confirm this self-image. And, every time things don't work out, your inner child is there to remind you that you can't expect any better! Other people can be happy and successful--which makes you jealous--but you are not deserving or capable of creating happiness in your life. Individuals with this issue never seem to live up to their potential, and usually have trouble accepting compliments. When someone says something nice to you, do you immediately think it's not sincere, and/or the person just wants something? Even in your words and thoughts, do you put yourself down and diminish your accomplishments? A few years ago I treated a woman who won "Nurse of the Year" in a large hospital. While winners from previous years proudly displayed the award plaque at their office or work station, this woman never displayed it. Even worse, when I inquired about it, she couldn't even find the plaque anyplace at work or in her home! Friends and family members sometimes try to encourage these people--aware of their true potential. However, those words of support fall on deaf ears. The voice of their inner child is louder and more powerful! Early experiences of discouragement, criticism and lack of support live on in their minds and provide sabotaging thoughts and messages. Only through professional hypnotherapy can the messages from the inner child be changed to reflect what is possible. Many people I've helped have made dramatic changes in their lives. They received promotions or accepted higher-level jobs in other organizations. Some were able to find healthy romantic relationships, while others achieved their educational dreams! These changes became visible to all around them. Once their subconscious mind is re-programmed to line up with the adult possibilities rather than the childhood messages, major life changes seem to happen effortlessly. < Back

Clinical hypnotherapy is the fastest/most effective way to cure your anxiety, panic attacks, & insomnia. Are you ready to be calmer? Hypnosis for Anxiety and Panic Attacks Life can be stressful, but some worry more than is reasonable. Usually those people don't realize that excessive worry is an anxiety symptom. They think they just have trouble sleeping, or are stressed because of their job, marriage or family. People with anxiety tend to second-guess themselves and often obsess about what others think of them. They are unduly afraid of making a mistake, or offending someone; and they generally have trouble relaxing. People who grew up in a home with alcohol and/or drug abuse often have anxiety. Similarly, excessive yelling or criticism in childhood may result in anxiety. At the extremes, those who experienced physical and/or sexual abuse often have lifelong anxiety. Irrational fears (phobias) are also symptoms of anxiety. Claustrophobia--or fear of enclosed places--is common. These people have trouble in elevators, airplanes, crowds, and confined spaces. There are other kinds of phobias too, although most people that suffer with them don't think of them as anxiety. They just try to avoid the trigger as much as possible. Men and women with social anxiety avoid social situations--for some, even talking with co-workers or family members can provoke anxiety. Being single and talking to an attractive dating prospect can be a challenge. If they can't avoid it, their brain may freeze and not be able to find words to say. Speaking in work meetings or doing presentations can also trigger those with this type of anxiety. Some anxiety patients are afraid to drive on our freeways. Others freak out when caught in traffic. Sometimes driving anxiety is the result of a car accident, but not always. Insomnia People with anxiety tend to have insomnia. They can't shut off their thoughts. They worry about the future, and regret what they said or did. They second-guess their words and actions, and often wish they could go back and do things differently. People with insomnia toss and turn. The experience is very frustrating. While most people fall asleep within fifteen minutes, those with insomnia may need 1-3 hours (or more) to finally fall asleep. At the extremes, some may need 4-5 hours to fall asleep, and on some nights can't fall asleep at all. It's understandable they would be desperate to try a method or substance that might help quiet their mind so they can sleep. I've had patients who were abusing alcohol or drugs that started their habit as a means to fall asleep! Sometimes those substances help them relax and sleep, but if they get up in the middle of the night, they have difficulty falling back asleep. Prescription sleep medications may help, but long-term use can result in serious health consequences. They are designed for occasional use only. (Check with your doctor.) About 10% of American adults have chronic insomnia. It may result in a lack of energy, a decreased ability to focus, cognitive impairment and overall fatigue. This reduces the quality of their life and may put them in danger. The NHTSA estimates that in 2017, drowsy driving was responsible for 91,000 crashes and at least 1,000 deaths. The good news is that insomnia is just anxiety at night. Fortunately, hypnotherapy is a very powerful sleep aid. When the anxiety levels are turned down, sleep comes naturally. The effectiveness of hypnosis to alleviate anxiety and insomnia have been demonstrated through medical research . Panic Attacks Extreme anxiety reactions are called panic attacks. These could be triggered by a phobia, social situation, having to present at school or for work, by getting caught in traffic, walking alone on a dark street, and sometimes for seemingly no reason. Panic attacks tend to happen in situations that cause anxiety for that person, but they are more powerful and harder to hide. The heart races, breathing speeds up, hands may sweat, and the mind gets foggy. There may also be chest pains, shortness of breath, excessive sweating, nausea, feeling weak, faint or dizzy. Some people with anxiety may never have a panic attack, while others I've treated had one or more panic attacks each week! About 6 million American adults have panic attacks, and women are twice as likely to have them as men. Whether a patient has generalized anxiety, insomnia, phobias, test-taking anxiety, or panic attacks--I've found hypnotherapy to be the most effective treatment. Of course my psychological training helps with anxious patients, and most are able to make significant progress in weeks rather than the months or years needed in psychotherapy. My work enables them to do the activities that caused anxiety or panic in the past--with few or no symptoms. < Back

Are you tired of the yo-yo? Lost hope? Want to adopt healthy habits and lose weight without struggle? You can! Weight Loss Time for Dessert French Fries Fudge Brownies Describe your image Time for Dessert 1/7 Why would a practitioner who has helped people lose weight for almost two decades have a gallery of guilty pleasure foods here? Aren't diets supposed to be about willpower and deprivation? Yes, most diets are a struggle. But this is different. My hypnosis for weight loss patients do not feel deprived. How is that possible? All diets you've tried involved deprivation and an inner battle. Did you ever wonder who you were fighting? And, why it was so difficult? If you have considerable amount of weight to lose (40 lbs. or more), the battle of wills is between you and your subconscious mind. That is your inner child. In cases of sexual abuse , the inner child needs the weight as protection to ward off men. In other cases, he/she may be packing on the pounds to get back at parents or a spouse. Rebellion and anger are often involved. It may not make any sense to your adult mind, but children see the world differently! You may also struggle with your weight because food was used as a reward when you were a kid, or the only way to be accepted in your family was if you were heavy. I've worked with patients who were single and were afraid to date. In those cases, the extra pounds gave them an excuse not to socialize--until they got in shape. Not surprisingly, since the weight kept them from doing something scary, it seemed impossible to get trim. Have you thought: "I'll only have one cookie" or "Just a few chips." How about a splurge to reward yourself for working out? Ever consoled yourself with a pint of Ben & Jerry's? We all have. Where do you think those impulses came from? Yes, your subconscious/inner child. They are powerful thoughts--which is why it's so difficult to change unhealthy habits encouraged by that inner voice! Fortunately, through hypnosis we can change that voice and your inner-child messages. It's like removing half the players from one side in a tug-of-war. It gets easier to win. And , the process also makes your adult-self team stronger. That's why the effects of this method are permanent! As an adult, your subconscious is closed; nothing can change the new balance-of-power. So, wouldn't you like to conquer your weight issue once and for all? And, what better time than now? In the early 1990s 55% of the American adult population was overweight or obese. It is now almost 72%. The obesity rate of children is rising too. My weight loss hypnosis program was created by Zoilita Grant, MS, CCHt. She was obese for many years before she discovered hypnotherapy. Since then her weight has been normal for over 25 years. She understands! And, hypnotherapy for weight loss has been endorsed by leading psychologists and doctors. While your weight has a great deal to do with your self-confidence and even your job success, what's most important are the effects on your health. As you probably know, overweight and obese individuals are at increased risk for high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, snoring/sleep apnea, stroke and some types of cancers (breast and colon). And, if you are a parent, wouldn't it be great to be a role model by tackling something difficult and succeeding? < Back
