Award-Winning Clinical Hypnotherapist

Modern Life. Modern Love. 

The issues and relationships we are facing are increasingly complex and multidimensional.

We live in a highly fast-paced world with challenges coming from every direction. 

It is healthy and relieving to slow down and look within;

examine who we are, why we are there, and where we want to be.

Whether short term solutions/goal orientation or an in-depth exploration, 

counseling/coaching offer opportunities to heal wounds and create more meaningful and fulfilled lives. 

I work with Individuals, Couples, Families, and Business Relationships.

I also am a Certified Addiction and Recovery Specialist in the Recovery Community for over 30 years with an emphasis on Women and LGBTQ Persons in Recovery. 

​

My work is collaborative, building a trusting partnership.

Clients know best who they are and what they need. I meet them there. ​

You can heal deep wounds, repair relationships, answer the questions life presents, understand tough challenges and face them with support, nurture the soul – and grow into being the best you.

Empower Yourself. Expand Yourself.

I have found my calling as a vessel for others enabling clients to successfully realize their dreams and overcome their obstacles. This is the reason they choose hypnotherapy.

Whether you need to let go of something that no longer serves you, or you are struggling with an overwhelming feeling, or an old record of thoughts that you would like to change. Byaccepting where you are at, and surrendering to the changes that start to take place with insight you receive from hypnosis. You will start to unfold the secrets of your own inner wisdom. By finding the root of your issue you will find solace and peace within.  

I believe that hypnotherapy can unleash the power of the subconscious mind to help individuals to turn goals into a reality. I help clients access their own wisdom and determination. I specialize in issues at each stage of life: relationship strategies, parenting, comfort and wellness, grief and loss, confidence and self-esteem. It starts by having the determination to improve your life.

In my experience, virtually every client can be helped. Always using a flexible approach, and a vast array of therapeutic “tools” to choose from. Because each client is unique.

As a Reiki practitioner I use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which a "universal energy" is said to be transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the client or animal in order to encourage emotional or physical healing. I also do distance Reiki. 

Reiki is a natural hands on healing technique.

Reiki is made of two Japanese works, “REI” (ray) and “KI” (key)
REI symbolizes Divine or Cosmic or Universal wisdom.

KI is the life force energy that is the very substance of all life. 

In Japanese language it is the term for all of the life energies.

KI is Japanese version of Chinese CHI. In Eastern India this concept is known as PRANA. 

It surrounds and flows within everything that exists.

REIKI can be defined as “Universal Life Force Energy”.

Our beliefs, thoughts, our concept of what we are or what we want to be, influences the energy flow within us. It is manifested in our physical bodies as well as projected outwardly, attracting to us our experiences. 

Negative thoughts, emotions, traumas or negative learnings rooted in our subconscious, cause the disturbances in flow if KI, inducing blockages or depletion of energy. 

All forms of discomfort, or disease, can be traced to blockages of the life force energy in our physical body.

REIKI balances body energy, therefore enhances general health, spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental well-being.

REIKI practitioner can channel Life Force Energy through hands-on technique to the root of the problem restoring energy balance. 

REIKI helps the body natural healing process by unblocking energy flow. 

REIKI can not harm.

REIKI is extremely helpful in conjunction with Eastern and/ or Western medicine.

You can not ever force REIKI onto anybody.

Communication between the Conscious & Sub-conscious mind is the route to positive change making transformation possible.

Storytelling has always fascinated Teresa, Behavior has always intrigued her. Why do people say one thing and yet do another? Have you ever found yourself saying, “That was so out of character, why did I do that”? Why, because we are human and fascinating creatures. Everyone has a story, a path that they are on and wish to alter in some way or another, the subconscious mind is the path for that change.

Teresa has spent a good portion of her life as an actor, dissecting a character to bring their story to life, so choosing to become a Hypnotherapist (aka Behavioral Therapist) was not far off the road she was already on.

She will be your detective listening between the lines, observing as you share your story to unlock the source that creates the habit, the anxiety, the stress and bring light through your darkness. Bringing new perspective and sprouting resolution within. Empowering you through hypnotic tools, and therapeutic guided imagery journeys where you escape to your future and see what is required to change in your present to achieve your goals with ease.

Together, we will discover the gift of creating those scenarios in your mind that make positives shifts where you find a more balanced life filled with clarity, hope and infinite possibilities.

Teresa’s curious and observant nature is what has led to her work with helping people to improve and better their lives, whether that be on the inside as a Hypnotherapist or the outside as a Professional Organizer/Clutter Consultant. Clearing out what is in the way of one’s happiness is a treasure to bestow.
