"Before you diagnose yourself with depression
or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are
not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes." - William Gibson
Hi There - Welcome. 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. I work with those for whom death is a very real part - terminal illness, homicide (accidental, line-of-duty, malice), miscarriage/abortion or cancer diagnosis or cancer scare - and with those who are in strong emotional pain from divorce, obsession, survivor's guilt, betrayal, and other heartache.
And, I'll say it right out - I also work with folks who may not have a big specific issue to tackle, sometimes life just blows and they need to talk about it.
I also work with the usual stressors in every counselor's repertoire, as well as address those things that are handily dispensed with by the use of hypnotism such as smoking, stress, and pain management.

It helps remind us that the important part of us is inside, not what we look like or what we own.
It's not selling anything. It does have one F-Word in it, so use your discretion.
