Q & A

• Where are you located, and where do you hold your appointments?

  I am located and am a Registered Hypnotherapist in Washington state, but I am working exclusively virtual at this time, which means I can see clients from anywhere including out-of-state and even outside the US in other countries.

• Does hypnotherapy work virtually?

  Absolutely! In fact, I find it can be even more effective than in person sessions. Working together online reduces the stress of driving in traffic and taking more time away from work or home obligations, and it also allows you to be in your own comfortable space rather than closing your eyes in an unfamiliar office setting.

• What are your hours?

  I typically work Monday through Friday during normal business hours, although I run my group programs in the evening, and I also have some evening hours set aside for clients who need after work appointments.

• What forms of payment do you accept?

  I accept all major credit cards and PayPal, and payment is due via invoice before the start of each session. You may also arrange to have a card on file and payments charged weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. That way, you don’t have to worry about remembering to pay your invoices on time.

• Do you take insurance?

  While I am not in-network with insurance companies currently, many plans offer reimbursement for out-of-network mental health services, including hypnotherapy. I encourage you to check with your insurance provider to learn about any available reimbursement options. I’m happy to provide you with a weekly or monthly invoice for reimbursement. Also, if you have access to a health savings account, flex spending account or wellness stipend through your employer or insurance plan, you may use this to pay for services in many cases. That is a great benefit to utilize as doing so would allow you to take advantage of additional tax-free savings on your therapy services.

• What is your cancellation policy?

  I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. Clients who cancel with less than 24 hours advance notice via email, text message, or voicemail are subject to the full appointment fee. However, I completely understand that life happens, and will not be unreasonable should there be a true emergency. If that is the case and you are unable to cancel before the 24-hour window, I will waive the cancellation fee.

• Do you offer an initial consultation, and is there a charge for that?

  Yes absolutely, and there is no charge. I offer a free 30-minute video consultation so that we can meet and make sure we are a good fit to work together.

• What type of therapy do you offer?

  I provide holistic hypnotherapy and mental wellness coaching services using an integrative approach utilizing many tools and techniques from my 20+ years of experience. I am a Certified Master Hypnotherapist, and use a combination of hypnotherapy, somatic experiencing, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide you in experiencing real and lasting transformation. I am also certified as a Transpersonal Wellness Coach and a Business Coach.

• What is the difference between coaching and therapy?

  As they are traditionally defined, therapy focuses on healing from the past and on the presenting problems a client is experiencing, while coaching focuses on the future and what is possible. Combining elements from both approaches along with the subconscious work I do with clients as a hypnotherapist, allows my clients to identify and heal the root cause of their challenges, and then learn tools, strategies, and resources to move forward. Some clients come to me seeking hypnotherapy and then move to coaching as they progress in their journey, while others are specifically looking for coaching and then come to realize that therapeutic techniques can help them address deeper issues from the past. Everyone’s journey is different, so schedule your free consultation to explore your options for support and what is the best fit for you.

• What types of clients have you worked with, and do you work with the problems I’m dealing with?

  In my therapeutic career, I have 25 years of experience working with clients of all ages and with many different circumstances. I’ve worked with people dealing with issues such as trauma/PTSD/CPTSD, anxiety, OCD, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship issues, addiction, parenting challenges, pregnancy/postpartum, spiritual matters, various forms of neurodivergence, and burnout. As a coach, I have also worked extensively with busy professionals on overcoming limiting beliefs and subconscious blocks, opening to abundance and prosperity, and creating work-life harmony. My holistic approach in guiding you to get to the root cause of your challenges and create real and lasting change will help you find clarity, identify your personal strengths and values, heal past hurts, and remove barriers to success in all areas of your life.

• Do you value diversity and inclusion in your practice?

  Yes, I do! I am experienced working with people of all different races, gender identities, sexual orientations, and religious beliefs. I maintain a diverse client base and prioritize continuing education around all forms of discrimination that my clients may face. Sessions with me are a safe space for all of who you are to be seen, heard, and welcomed. My pronouns are she/her/hers.

• How long are your sessions, and how often will I see you?

  I typically schedule clients for 60-minute sessions, although some of my clients prefer longer 90-minute sessions. I generally recommend that new clients meet with me weekly at first as we build a foundation together for healing and growth. As we move forward, many clients will drop down to every other week, then monthly or as needed for check-ins about their progress when they reach their goals and are feeling ready to do so. I also welcome back past clients who are either ready for a new level of healing or facing new challenges. My door is always open for ongoing support!

• What is the Clarity Collective?

  The Clarity Collective is a transformative guided hypnotherapy membership, designed specifically for women in business who are seeking a deeper level of personal and professional growth. The program includes guided group hypnotherapy and somatic experiencing sessions, and mindfulness, meditation and breathing technique instruction. It includes access to my entire library of guided hypnotic meditation recordings focused on emotional regulation, overall mental and physical wellness, and success. I also offer the option to join two live group sessions per month via Zoom where you can get coaching and participate in live guided sessions. You can join The Clarity Collective separately as a stand-- alone program or you can also gain access as a bonus with one of my personalized packages.

• How do I know if we are a good fit to work together?

  The best way to tell is to book a free 30-minute video consultation with me, so that we can chat about the challenges you are facing that you are reaching out for support around, and your goals that you hope to achieve. Our conversation will allow me to assess whether I’m the best person to help you, and which of my programs and packages is the best fit for your needs.
