Counselling & Hypnotherapy Services
I practice integrative psychotherapy by combining hypnotherapy with other therapeutic approaches to facilitate long-term, lasting changes. This process works by helping individuals connect with their inner advisor, allowing shifts in perception to occur naturally and effortlessly.
I can conduct sessions in English & Spanish.
Anxiety can manifest in a generalized manner, or as specific phobias such as: animal, flying, needles, blood, heights, enclosed spaces, choking, vomiting, among others. Whether is generalized anxiety or a specific phobia, hypnotherapy and EMDR successfully reduce the unpleasant body responses to anxiety- provoking triggers.

Weight loss support & virtual gastric band
Your weight gain might be a recent development or something you've struggled with for years. You might have tried every diet and celebrity-endorsed product available, only to find that none of them truly work. Perhaps you find it challenging to stay motivated to make a change. We all know that diets often fail because they involve some form of deprivation. The Virtual Gastric Band is not a diet; it is a 4-week program designed to change the way you think about food, reset your eating habits, and increase your motivation to exercise.
The Virtual Gastric Band program was created by Sheila Granger in the UK and has been recognized by the International Medical and Dental Hypnosis Association. The program includes education on healthy eating habits, four hypnotherapy sessions, a daily recording to support your journey, and a personalized recording that you can continue to use.
I’m passionate about empowering women to take control of their health and restore balance to their overall wellbeing. As women, we navigate cycles of change, transformation, and growth throughout our lives. From birth, our bodies evolve, and we experience changes in our physical appearance, our ability to create life, and our efforts to balance various aspects of ourselves.
Later in life, we face additional changes, sometimes in a not so gentle way. Factors such as caring for others, maintaining social connections, and making healthy lifestyle choices all play a role in influencing our longevity. Our mindsets significantly impact the choices we make, affecting our control over our lives, health, and destiny.
By reframing situations and using simple, effective tools and techniques, you can transition from a state of discomfort to one of calm and safety. Whether you need support with enhancing general wellbeing, anxiety management, weight loss, or navigating aging, you can learn to cultivate a more confident and empowered version of yourself.
Women's health & wellness
Chronic pain arises when the brain creates emergency signals that are too frequent and intense. While pain typically serves to protect the body from harm, when it persists beyond the healing period, it functions like an alarm system stuck on “high alert.” This constant pain can lead to anxiety, helplessness, and even depression, impacting both your relationship with your body and your interactions with others.
If you suffer from chronic pain, you are not alone — 3.5 million people in Australia live with this condition. The most effective and sustainable pain management approach combines education about pain, movement, diet, and hypnotherapy. This integrative strategy helps the brain recalibrate and reduce “pain” signals, leading to decreased anxiety, less negative self-perception, and increased confidence. Hypnotherapy for chronic pain management empowers you to regain control of your life.
Chronic pain & trauma
Have you noticed that cycle, the awful feeling of not being heard, understood, or validated, even though you are screaming the same words over and over? Sometimes relationships fall into a negative pattern. During sessions we can work together through those issues, and you can learn communication skills and soothing techniques to improve your relationship.
The Gottman Method Couples Therapy follows the Sound Relationship House Theory. This form of couple’s therapy can help you and your partner move forward by learning skills for intimate communication, increasing respect and affection, and designing and updating your relationship at different stages of your life. By integrating principles from the Gottman Method with evidence-based interventions, I aim to help you build thriving relationships.
Or you can choose to use hypnosis, which helps in changing internal perceptions and connect with your partner’s needs.

Resolving Trauma
with EMDR
A traumatic event refers to any experience in which a person is exposed to a threatening or harmful occurrence. The brain stores the emotions and physical responses experienced during the traumatic event in a sensory format. Unlike non-traumatic memories that are perceived as being in the past, traumatic memories are relived, causing the person to re-experience the event.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy method that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences.
During EMDR, the eye movements produce a pattern of electrical activity in the brain, which appears to change the trauma memory to become less vivid. After treatment, clients often report that the memory feels quite distant.
