No. Hypnosis is a state of deep focus and relaxation, not unconsciousness. You remain aware and in control throughout the session, and you can't be made to do or say anything against your will.

Not at all, and this is probably the question I get asked most. You will not be asked to cluck like a chicken. Stage hypnosis is entertainment that relies on highly suggestible volunteers and a performance dynamic. Clinical hypnotherapy is a calm, collaborative process focused on your goals, not spectacle.

Everyone can enter a hypnotic state to some degree. What varies from person to person is suggestibility, meaning how you personally respond to and process suggestion. Part of our first session together is understanding your specific suggestibility, so the entire hypnotic process is tailored to how your mind actually works, not a generic script.

It's a 15 minute conversation, not a full session. We'll talk about what brings you here, answer your questions, and make sure we're a good fit before any hypnosis work begins.

Standard sessions are 55 minutes at $150 per session.

I ask for 24 hours notice to reschedule or cancel. A $25 fee applies for late cancellations or no-shows.

This varies by person and goal. Some people notice shifts quickly; others benefit from an ongoing series. We'll talk about what's realistic for you during your consultation.

Yes. Dream journaling is often woven into sessions as a way to surface material the conscious mind hasn't fully processed yet.

No particular belief system is required. Hypnotherapy works with your own mind's natural capacity for focus and imagery. All you need to believe in is yourself.
