Sound familiar?

You might feel frustrated more than seems reasonable. Or like no one quite gets what you mean — including, sometimes, yourself. Things that used to feel manageable start to wear thin. The same situations land the same way, every time. That's not a character flaw. It's usually a signal worth paying attention to. Much of what drives how we feel and react happens below the surface — in the unconscious, where the imprint of our relationships, old patterns, and unresolved experiences quietly shape the way we move through life. When that material starts pushing through, it often feels like exactly this: a low hum of frustration, a sense of being stuck, something off that you can't quite name. This is where the work begins.

What to expect

Most people arrive carrying something that's been there a while — a low-level tension, a way of relating that keeps causing the same friction, a sense of being stuck without quite knowing why. We start by talking. You bring what's on your mind — I listen for what's underneath. Slowly, what felt tangled starts to loosen. Not because we've found a formula, but because something that was hidden gets some air. The pace is yours. Some of that work happens through conversation and the relationship between us. Some of it happens through hypnotherapy — reaching the same ground from a different direction. Together, they can shift things that feel stubbornly fixed.

About me

I came to this through reading. Freud and Jung first, then Klein, Bowlby, Kohut — working through ideas about the unconscious, early relationships, and why certain patterns repeat. I didn't read them as theory. I used them to make sense of my own life. Hypnosis came later — Elman, Erickson — and changed how I understood the first part. Where psychodynamic work reaches the unconscious through relationship and reflection, hypnosis reaches it more directly. Two doors into the same room. I trained in both because I'd seen what they could do together — not just as a way of coping, but as a way of genuinely shifting what's underneath. That's what I look for in the work: not relief from symptoms, but real movement at the source.
