Professional Affiliation & Training
I am professionally trained and certified through the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH), the world’s largest and most established organization dedicated to the practice and advancement of hypnosis.
This training emphasizes ethical standards, evidence-based hypnotic techniques, and client-centered care. My work is grounded in a structured, responsible approach designed to support lasting behavioral change while respecting each client’s individual goals and experiences.
Professional Background
Before working in behavior change, my professional background was in electrical engineering. That training shaped the way I approach complex systems by understanding inputs, patterns, feedback loops, and how small adjustments can create meaningful, lasting change.
I bring that same systems-based mindset into my work today. Habits like smoking, stress responses, and sleep disruption are not personal failures, they are learned neurological patterns. When the underlying system is addressed correctly, change becomes more efficient, predictable, and sustainable.
This analytical foundation allows me to combine structured methodology with client-centered hypnotic techniques, helping individuals move beyond willpower and toward measurable, lasting results.
A Different Approach to Change.
Many people know what they should do, but feel blocked when they try to do it.
My work focuses on the gap between logic and automatic patterns. Instead of forcing change through willpower, we work directly with the subconscious mind and nervous system so change feels natural rather than exhausting.
Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP)
NLP works with the language of the mind; the words, images, and patterns we use in our thinking. By shifting how you picture, describe, and react to experiences, NLP “rewires” old habits and create new, empowering responses. This is especially effective for cravings, confidence, and performance.
Cognitive Hypnosis
This approach blends hypnosis with cognitive-behavioral techniques, helping you become aware of thought patterns that create stress or self-sabotage. In hypnosis, it becomes easier to replace unhelpful beliefs with healthier, more supportive ones. This method is powerful for anxiety, negative self-talk, and focus issues.
Together, these methods provide more than short-term relief. They create lasting, subconscious change that aligns your mind, body, and emotions with your goals.
How This Differs From Aversion Therapy
Aversion therapy attempts to stop smoking by creating negative associations such as fear, discomfort, or disgust. While this can suppress behavior temporarily, it often increases stress and resistance.
My approach uses clinical hypnosis to rewire automatic responses at the subconscious level; reducing cravings, rewiring the nervous system, and restoring a sense of choice and control.
Group Sessions
In addition to private one-on-one sessions, group hypnosis sessions are available by appointment for select goals and settings.
Group sessions can be an effective option for organizations, wellness programs, or small groups seeking structured support in areas such as stress regulation, habit change, or performance mindset. Each session is thoughtfully designed to ensure a professional, supportive environment while maintaining individual comfort within a group setting.
Availability, format, and session focus are discussed in advance to ensure the experience is an appropriate fit for all participants.
