I'm the Founder & Owner of Healthy Horizons Hypnosis. I've been practicing professionally for over ten years.

My own interest in creating positive change began over twenty years ago. I've explored many therapies and philosophies which created a firm foundation of different perspectives and understanding which have proven invaluable to me as a therapist. As I began to understand the influences which shape our view of the world, and the effects those influences can have on our lives, I became deeply inspired. It is my pleasure to hold a position where I can help others to experience their own healing and reconnect positively to life and their full potential.

My work as a hypnotherapist is essentially clinical. I offer a practical, scientific, and grounded approach to positive change which is based on effective, time honored methods, incorporated into a modern therapeutic framework. I pride myself on staying right up to date with the best of therapeutic research and draw from many different modalities to create an overall approach which is focused on "what works!"

I am committed to continued professional and personal development. I regularly attend advanced training events to stay up to date with the latest developments and the best of current thinking, as demonstrated by research and experience; a process which continues indefinitely. I hold numerous board certified specialist certifications and I am a full-time therapist.

I am very approachable and I bring to my work a sincere sense of humanity and compassion, an ingredient I consider vital to all healing. My consulting office is a judgment free zone. Your individuality and circumstances will be honored. 

You can feel confident in knowing that I can "Help You" with whatever issue it is that you seek my guidance for. If the question,      issue, or assistance you seek is out of my area of services rendered, or beyond my training or experience, I'll refer you to another    professional who can help you.

I help those seeking to make positive personal changes to accelerate those changes. I accomplish this with the aid of MMP (Multi-Phasic Motivational Programming) as developed by Bruce E. Kaloski, Ph.D.

As a Clinical Hypnotherapist just a few of the areas I've assisted my Clients achieve Success in, is how to:

Stop Smoking - Manage Your Weight - Stop Panic - Take Control of the Stress in Your Life - Manage Your Anger - Build Your Self Esteem and Confidence - Improve Your Motivation and Career Goals - Eliminate Addictions such as Alcohol, Gambling, Drugs, and so much more!

As a Medical Hypnotherapist I assist you and your Doctor in the areas of:

Pre-Op, Intra-Op and Post-Op Support - Dental Support - Chemotherapy & Radiation Support - Pain Management, and so much more!

Here's a few examples:

Pre-Op - Preparation for surgery - hypnosis can reduce the anticipatory fear, anxiety, and tension.

Intra-Op - During surgery - positive posthypnotic suggestions given immediately before or during surgery can control bleeding, reduce the need for pain medication, anesthesia, muscle relaxants and increase postoperative pain control.

Post-Op - Post surgery - hypnosis can ease recovery from anesthesia; reduce or eliminate pain, nausea, vomiting, and bowel distress, accelerate healing from an incision, help regain normal body weight, increase physical energy and psychological well being, and speed overall recovery.

Procedures other than surgery - hypnosis can reduce anticipatory fear, anxiety, tension and discomfort from non surgical procedures such as: intravenous therapy, spinal taps, blood draws, dressing changes, and stitch removal.

As a Certified Pediatric Hypnotist I assist you and your child in becoming all that they can be, excelling in all areas of their lives, personally, socially, athletically, as well as academically.

When dealing with children there are many more types of hypnosis sessions available than even when working with adults. Children encounter many of the same types of problems as adults, plus an entire spectrum of their own.

In the same ways that adults use hypnosis in the following areas, children may also be helped: Self Confidence, Weight Loss, Stuttering, Procrastination, Procrastination, Improve Memory, Concentration, Nail Biting, Poor Sleep Habits, etc...

Children also have their own list of situations that hypnosis can be helpful with: Bed Wetting, Conduct at School, Thumb Sucking, Cleaning their Room, Disrespect, Establishing a Value System, Getting Along With Others, Loudness, Insecurity, Fears, Test Anxiety, Improving their Grades, Nervous Habits, etc...

The list of areas in which hypnosis can be helpful with children is unlimited. Keep in mind that children have an excellent imagination, and it can be used for their benefit.

I'm looking forward to serving you. Call me now to see what Coaching and Hypnosis can do for You and Your Family!
