Quit Smoking
Breaking the automatic patterns and associations that keep smoking tied to your daily life.
Create change at a deeper level.
I use hypnotherapy to help you move beyond simply knowing what you want to change and begin working with the thoughts, emotional responses, beliefs, and habits that have become automatic.
You remain awake, aware, and in control throughout the entire experience. My role is to guide you into a deeply relaxed, focused state and use personalized language and suggestions to reinforce the changes we have been working toward together.

What hypnotherapy actually feels like
01 GET COMFORTABLE
You settle in.
I have you lean back in a comfortable chair and close your eyes.
There is nothing you have to perform and nothing you have to "make happen."
I begin by helping you slow your breathing, relax your body, and turn your attention away from everything happening around you.
02 GUIDED INTO CALM
The noise begins to quiet.
This part of hypnosis is often called the induction.
I use my voice, pacing, imagery, breathing, and language designed around relaxation to help you move into a calmer and more focused state.
Thoughts may still come into your mind. That is completely normal.
I often incorporate that directly into the hypnosis: you can notice a thought, allow it to pass, and return your attention to the experience.
You do not have to achieve a perfectly empty mind for hypnosis to be useful.
03 PERSONALIZED GUIDANCE
I reinforce the changes you want to make.
I tailor hypnosis around beliefs, patterns, language, goals, and emotional responses that matter most.
The suggestions might reinforce your ability to respond differently to food, feel calmer around a trigger, trust yourself, release an old association, strengthen a new habit, or continue a change you have already begun making.
The goal is not to force something into your mind.
It is to reinforce the direction you have already decided you want to go.
04 RETURN GROUNDED
A new state of self awareness
At the end of the hypnosis, I gradually bring your attention back.
You open your eyes.
Most people describe feeling calm, peaceful, grounded, or deeply relaxed.
In my 75-minute sessions, hypnosis is typically incorporated into approximately the final 15 minutes, after we have spent time talking and identifying what we actually want to work on.
Very often, it becomes my clients' favorite part of the session.
What if I can't be hypnotized?
You don't have to fall asleep, stop thinking, or experience a dramatic change in awareness.
Your thoughts might wander. You might notice sounds in the room or briefly think about something else. That's okay.
I guide you through the session with room for those moments, allowing thoughts to come and go as you settle into the experience.
People experience hypnosis differently. We can talk about what you notice and adjust the approach together.
Change doesn't always begin by trying harder.
Sometimes we need to become quiet enough to work with the part of ourselves that keeps responding automatically.
Hypnotherapy is one of the tools I use to help my clients do exactly that.
