I received my Bachelors degree in Social & Behavioral Sciences with a Counseling emphasis from Mesa State College in Grand Junction, Colorado in 1994. I did over 2,000 hours of internship hours as a requirement of that degree. I began working as a Behavioral Specialist in an alternative middle school in October 1994. My work there allowed me to work directly with the students and their families to change behavior patterns that were no longer functional in the context of the school, home and community.
During the nine plus years that I was a Behavioral Specialist I earned my Master of Arts Degree in Counseling from Regis University in Denver, Colorado. I was required to do an additional 3,000 plus hours of supervised treatment to receive that degree in 2003.
Combining my skills and experience in psychotherapy with my education and experience in hypnotherapy I am able to help my clients (co-therapists) go to the source of their problem and affect lasting changes in their lives. Although I have extensive training and experience in psychotherapy I have chosen to practice hypnotherapy almost exclusively because the results are so profound with hypnosis. Hypnosis is more cost effective for the client than psychotherapy because the duration is shorter. Seldom does treatment require more than 10 visits (generally 3-6 sessions). We don’t sit around rehashing the details of what happened and why. We go to the source (your subconscious) and mend old beliefs and thought patterns. The healing that takes place is profound, often instantaneous and long lasting. I consider it an honor to serve the people who come to me for guidance toward healing.
I attended The Hypnotherapy Academy of America in Santa Fe, New Mexico where I completed over 350 hours of hypnotherapy training in 2004. I am certified by the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, certification #CHT 105-130. I have over 150 hours of additional post graduate training in hypnosis and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming).
