Services
Hypnotherapy
Clinical hypnotherapy using Ericksonian methods addresses anxiety, phobias, and unhealthy habits through subconscious reprogramming. Our three-session protocol creates lasting behavioral changes by reframing negative thought patterns. Clients achieve measurable improvements in stress management, relationship dynamics, and personal confidence through guided, gentle suggestion techniques.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy resolves traumatic memories and panic responses through guided eye movement techniques. This evidence-based approach helps clients reprocess distressing experiences, neutralizing negative emotional triggers. Specialized applications address PTSD symptoms, anxiety disorders, and performance-related stress in professional and personal contexts.
Infertility Counseling
Specialized counseling supports couples navigating infertility challenges, including gestational carriers and donor relationships. Our approach addresses emotional grief and relationship strain through combined hypnotherapy and traditional counseling methods. Services extend to third-party reproduction psychological preparation and post-treatment emotional processing.
Anxiety Management
Customized anxiety management programs combine hypnotherapy with cognitive-behavioral techniques to address situational and chronic stress. Clients learn practical tools for immediate symptom relief while addressing root psychological causes. Treatment plans target work-related stress, social anxiety, and generalized anxiety disorders.
Relationship Counseling
Therapeutic interventions improve relationship dynamics through subconscious pattern recognition and communication skill development. Focus areas include intimacy issues, co-dependency, and sexual identity exploration. Hypnotherapy enhances emotional connection and facilitates constructive conflict resolution patterns.

I cannot comment on her ability as a therapist as we were never even seen. We waited for over 45 minutes to be seen before we eventually just left - no one even checked in to let us know she was running late. I'm so glad we re-arranged our work schedules to attend this appointment.
