Trusted Psychotherapy & Hypnotherapy Services in Houston
As a licensed psychotherapist and hypnotherapist practicing since 1989, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals achieve profound mental, physical, and spiritual balance. My approach integrates cutting-edge neuroscience with mindfulness meditation, clinical hypnosis, and evidence-based therapies like EMDR and CBT. Over three decades, I have developed a unique methodology that addresses the root causes of anxiety, depression, and stress-related illnesses by accessing the innate wisdom within each client. Certified by the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis as an Approved Consultant since 1999, I combine rigorous professional training with personal practices like Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido to enhance therapeutic outcomes.

My Stillstate Wellness system reflects ongoing research into brain health, ensuring clients receive the most current, effective care. Whether working with individuals, couples, or professionals through workshops, I prioritize creating safe, transformative spaces for growth. With experience serving clients locally in Houston and nationally through distance therapy, I remain committed to making specialized mental health support accessible to all.

Services
Psychotherapy
Personalized psychotherapy addresses anxiety, depression, and trauma through evidence-based methods like CBT and EMDR. Sessions focus on uncovering root causes of distress while fostering resilience. Clients gain tools to reframe negative patterns and achieve lasting mental wellness.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy accesses subconscious resources to resolve chronic pain, phobias, and self-limiting beliefs. Using Ericksonian techniques, sessions promote deep relaxation and internal wisdom retrieval. This method accelerates healing by aligning conscious goals with unconscious capabilities.
Mindfulness Meditation
Mindfulness programs teach present-moment awareness to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation. Customized practices integrate breathwork, body scans, and cognitive exercises. Clients develop greater clarity and responsiveness to life's challenges through structured daily routines.
