What is the value I get?
"Many people have commented to me that they have had little
success from traditional counseling or psychotherapy. Often they
complain that their experiences were less than favorable, bad
in the extreme and that sometimes the therapist, counselor, or
even psychotherapist, has his or her own issues that get in the
way of the session and healing of the client/patient.
One
client related to me how her psychiatrist accused her of being
a prostitute for being with an African American. It is obvious
that his own prejudices get in the way of how he works with clients,
and that he is projecting his issues onto his clients.
My
personal opinion is that the counselor/therapist/coach should
be loving, kind, accepting and non-judgmental. Very important
for your healing is to ensure that your therapist has already
healed his or her own issues. How can someone who is full of anger
and resentment, someone who has never forgiven, teach you to forgive
others and release anger and resentment? You would not go to an
overweight person who smokes for advice on how to lose weight
and stop smoking, would you?
Because
I believe so deeply in the above principal, I have spent much
time and energy healing myself, which in turn, enables me to help
others. I humbly believe it is so important to be a living example
of what one teaches, and on all levels, physical, mental, emotional
and spiritual. I also take a sincere interest in the personal
well-being of everyone that comes to me for help or guidance.

How
do I know if I can trust you or if you are the right person to
help me?
"I always advise people to follow their intuition. It is
common for people to feel nervous or somewhat apprehensive about
hypnosis. However that is not the same as "can I trust this
person?" If you are unsure, pray or just close your eyes,
asking the same question and then follow your instinct or gut
feeling. Your intuition will always lead you down the right path
for you.

Can
you give me insight into my personality and issues over the phone?
"Although the most successful insights are usually performed
in person, through extensive experience and by asking the right
questions, it is possible to lead you to revelations and insight
into your personality,what your issues are and how to deal with
them to achieve your goals. Most people who come to me are looking
for help, guidance and advice. I believe it is not enough for
someone to tell you things about yourself that you already know
(i.e. "you are …and you have...and you do…etc.)
Now it is true that sort of information and reading makes you
feel momentarily comfortable because you feel that maybe you have
finally found someone that understands you. However, I believe
what better serves you in your pursuit of happiness and peace
of mind, is first identifying your issues and then giving you
direct, concrete advice that you can act on and principals that
you can apply in your everyday life. Almost every one of my clients
has told me that he or she has learned more with me in one hour
than in years of traditional counseling. Also, after quickly identifying
the root causes of your issues, I work immediately to help you
to change those causes and thus you get new results.
I

Can
you give me an example of a recent success with phone consultations?
"Here is just one example of how successful phone consultations
can be:
Jill
(not her real name) called me frustrated because she had put on
forty pounds and felt depressed. While speaking with Jill, I sensed
that she was punishing herself and her husband. I told her that
she had put on weight and cut her hair short in a subconscious
attempt to make herself unattractive, a way of punishing her husband
for not doing what she wanted or needed. I also told Jill that
she was "cutting your nose off to spite your face" and
that her present action was both punishing her husband and herself.
She was depriving both herself and her husband of love. She would
not express love to her husband and she made sure that he too
would not want to express love to her. I also accurately told
Jill, "you feel disconnected from your husband and you do
not have good sexual relations at the moment." I was also
able to determine that Jill's issues included not allowing people
to support her and not being able to receive because she believes
she is not worthy, and that she was depressed because she had
not expressed to her husband verbally or in writing her true feelings.
She was blocking everything in her life, and the fat or weight
was her way of blocking out the world. I went on to identify her
core issue. For Jill the very realization of the motivations behind
her actions was a huge first step in setting her free and helping
her to change. The specific advice and tasks I then gave Jill
helped her to solidify that change. These included special affirmations
and written exercises. I also spoke with her husband to gently
advise him how he could help her by using specific phrases and
certain kinds of communication (in this case -letter writing.)

Do
you travel to other cities to perform private hypnotherapy sessions?
Yes, I have traveled to many various cities to work with clients.
This is of course determined by your budget because it involves
travel costs. Minimum fees apply and I work with you to make it
affordable. Some clients have encouraged and organized other friends
and colleagues to also partake in private hypnotherapy sessions
as a way to share travel costs.
