Training
I opened my private practice as a Clinical Hypnotherapist in 2007, after having graduated from the Hypnotherapy Academy of America, where I received comprehensive training in the field. That training, coupled with experience, has allowed me to contribute to the better health and well being of hundreds of clients, in the form of: anxiety reduction, behavior modification, assertiveness building, trauma relief, phobia elimination, chronic pain diminution; insomnia relief; weight loss and smoking cessation. A distinctive feature of my practice is a specialization in preparation for surgery and post-operative healing.
I have collaborated extensively with colleagues and medical specialists in my community, believing that cross referrals, of this kind, best serve the client. My interests lie in the greater field of integrative medicine and I continue to expand my education. I have been fortunate to be mentored by many outstanding leaders in the field of integrative health care. Chief among them is Tim Simmerman, author of Medical Hypnotherapy, Principles and Methods of Practice.
I am also an educator, and provide wellness instruction and inspiration to numerous service organizations, including the Mendocino Coast Clinics and the Mendocino Coast District Hospital. In addition, I record CDs, which are available to my clients and the general public, for weight loss, restful sleep, smoking cessation and preparation for surgery.
I feel privileged to do work daily that encourages my clients to create their optimal health, by fostering wise choices.
