Is hypnosis safe?
Yes, hypnosis is completely safe! It’s gentle and natural to be in a hypnotic trance—you go in and out of trance state by yourself many times a day, like when you first wake up or when you’re about to go to sleep. As your hypnotherapist, I work with you to decide what suggestions I need to introduce in order to help you succeed with your goals. And no one can leave a suggestion that the person in hypnosis is not in agreement with. You’re a part of the hypnosis and therapy—it’s not being “done to you.” Hypnosis is a dance between the therapist and the client—we’re helping your mind and heart become free and light together. Nothing could be safer, or more free-ingl!
Why choose hypnosis over other approaches?
Hypnosis is so effective because it’s a mind-body-spiritual healing—it addresses you as a whole person. In session, I work to help you make lasting changes and create new pathways for yourself—it’s active, dynamic, and fun! Many types of therapy are valuable, and you have to find the right therapy (and therapist!) for you. Personally, I have used hypnosis to make huge changes in my own life, and after I saw its immediate effectiveness, I had to change my entire career (from photographer to certified hypnotist!) so that I could help others. In my practice, I use Guided Therapeutic Imagery—it’s an incredibly powerful tool that speaks directly to your subconscious and helps you completely transform how you think and feel about your life.

Who does it work for best?
Hypnosis can work for anyone. Even if you arrive at my New York City office nervous or skeptical, you can experience the incredible relaxation of hypnotic trance. We all have a subconscious mind, and our subconscious minds all respond to imagery—it’s just how our brains are created. That said, I find my greatest success is with people who are:
seeking to increase their confidence, self-esteem, and motivation
pursuing creative endeavors, enhanced relationships
rebuilding their lives or starting anew
moving through loss or grief
Along the way, my NYC clients successfully rid themselves of
fears, stress, anxiety, sleep deprivation and depression
bad habits (smoking, overeating, etc.)—and, more importantly, their root causes
relationship troubles—and troubled relationships
Is there anyone who can’t be helped by hypnosis?
Absolutely! A person who is not ready to change cannot be helped by hypnosis—remember, I can’t make your subconscious do anything you don’t already want to do. A person who isn’t ready to make change won’t even be calling me. Anyone who is willing to try hypnosis—no matter how nervous or skeptical—can and will reap its amazing benefits. Anyone ready for change—everyone who’s had enough of their old patterns and beliefs, anyone ready to make changes, even if they can’t yet see what those changes will be—will see huge success!
