Why Hypnotherapy Works When
Talk Therapy Alone Doesn't
Traditional therapy works at the conscious level. But 95% of your behavior, emotions, and reactions are driven by your subconscious mind. Clinical hypnotherapy accesses that deeper layer to create real, lasting change.
Identify
We uncover the root causes — the subconscious patterns, beliefs, and unresolved experiences driving your pain.
Reprogram
Through clinical hypnosis, EMDR, and NLP, we rewire the neural pathways that keep you stuck in old cycles.
Transform
You emerge with a fundamentally different relationship to yourself — calmer, clearer, and free from what held you back.

Every mind is different. Every wound is unique. That's why we offer multiple pathways to healing — each one designed to reach the deepest layers of lasting change.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is clinical hypnotherapy and how is it different from stage hypnosis?
Clinical hypnotherapy is an evidence-based therapeutic technique used by licensed professionals to access the subconscious mind for healing. Unlike stage hypnosis, you remain fully in control throughout the session. It's used to treat anxiety, trauma, phobias, depression, and more by rewiring deep-seated patterns at the subconscious level.
What can I expect in my first session?
Your first session is a collaborative conversation. We'll discuss your history, current challenges, and what you want to achieve. I'll explain how I work and which therapeutic approaches would be most effective for your specific situation. There's no pressure — it's about finding the right path forward together.
How is the Intensive Program different from weekly therapy?
The 5-day Intensive Brain Reprogramming Treatment compresses months of progress into one focused week. By working daily with CBT, EMDR, Clinical Hypnosis, and NLP in combination, we create deep neurological change rapidly. You also receive a personalized workbook and custom hypnotic audio tracks to continue the work at home.
Is hypnotherapy safe? Will I lose control?
Absolutely safe. Clinical hypnotherapy is recognized by the American Medical Association as a legitimate therapeutic technique. You remain fully aware and in control during every session. You cannot be made to do anything against your will. It's simply a state of deep, focused relaxation that allows therapeutic work at a deeper level.
Do you accept insurance?
We accept some insurance plans. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to confirm coverage for outpatient mental health services. We can provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. HSA/FSA accounts are also accepted, and we offer flexible payment arrangements.
What therapy methods do you use?
I integrate multiple evidence-based approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Clinical Hypnosis, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). I also hold certifications in neuroscience and nutrition, allowing me to take a whole-person approach to your healing.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes. I offer secure telehealth sessions for clients throughout Utah. Virtual sessions can be just as effective as in-person therapy for many concerns, including hypnotherapy.
How quickly will I see results?
Many clients report noticeable shifts after just a few sessions. The Intensive Program is designed for rapid transformation within 5 days. Weekly therapy typically shows measurable progress within 4-8 sessions. Your timeline depends on your specific challenges and commitment to the process.
