Testimonials :

Adult ADD/School Performance

"It seems I have gone to therapists for most of my life and I never seemed to improve. You are the first therapist that has made a difference in how I feel about myself and my motivation to complete tasks. The hypnosis sessions helped me gain insight into how memories of early patterns of failure were keeping me locked into the same pattern now as an adult. The suggestions and reframing you made during our sessions has helped me to see myself in a new light and I am starting to have more successes than failures Thank you!"

Social Anxiety/Superficial Relationships

"When I first came to you for hypnosis I thought you might work some kind of instant magic that would allow me to feel more comfortable with others and establish deeper more meaningful relationships. You told right from the start that hypnosis wasn’t magic but a tool that would allow me to explore deep inside myself and find the answers that I was looking and ready for. The insight that I received from our sessions has helped me not only be more comfortable with others but with myself as well."

Chronic Pain/Fibromyalgia

"When I first started coming to see you I was practically bedridden. I felt completely depleted and didn’t want to live like this anymore. From the very first session I felt comfortable with you and started to feel a sense of hope. I still don’t quite know how your hands hovering above my body are able to detect the pain I was experiencing but it helped me to know that the pain wasn’t just in my head. All I can say is that the combination of “Healing Touch” techniques, hypnosis and your counseling helped me to return to the life of the living. I feel more energized and I am experiencing less body discomfort."

Depression/Chronic Cough

"Honie, when we brought our brother to you, for hypnosis for his chronic cough, we never thought that anyone could help him to improve his mental functioning. Thank you, to see our brother less depressed and wanting to work and socialize with others is such a relief to our family. Also his chronic cough has decreased considerably."

Family Counseling/Parenting

"When we brought our pregnant 16 year old daughter to you for counseling, we never thought that our family dynamics could be contributing to our daughter’s poor choices. Your warmth and ability to help us feel safe in facing things that were pretty embarrassing to us helped our entire family to grow as individuals and become stronger as a family."

Personal Growth and Change

“Thank you so much Honie for all your help. Your ability to always make me feel safe and not judged for my shameful behavior allowed me to stop lying to myself and everybody else. As you know I stared to change my behavior and take responsibility for my actions."

California Relationship Counseling

“Honie you are the best! Before we engaged in therapy with you we thought our marriage was finished. You helped us to recognize the importance of identifying our own unmet needs so we could deal better with each other. Your warmth and your ability to see what each of us were feeling and experiencing helped make us both feel safe and supported. Without your guidance we would be spending all our money on attorney fees instead of putting it toward the house we are planning to buy. We have both come such a long way thanks to you."

Trauma/Panic attacks/ Phobia

"Honie, as you know I have been seeing therapists since I was a child to try to recover from the trauma I experienced as a child. When another therapist I was seeing suggested I come see you because you specialize in hypnotherapy I had little faith that it would help. I agreed because I was desperate, I couldn’t even ride in a car any more and the panic attacks I was experiencing were getting worse and becoming intolerable. You were able to help me do what no other therapist has been able to do and that is to help me gain control of myself. The technique of bringing my fingers together works like magic, I bring my fingers together and find myself in my safe place where I feel safe and in control."

Weight Loss

“Honie it has been about two years since I first came to you for hypnosis to lose weight. I am glad to say not only have I kept the weight off that I lost when I was seeing you, but I continued to decrease my weight. I feel and look better then I have in years. Over the years I have tried many diets and diet programs, they worked for a while but I always returned to my old eating habits. The combination of hypnosis and counseling sessions I had with you helped me to identify and extinguish old belief patterns and emotional triggers that kept me trapped in the diet yo-yo pattern, I can’t thank you enough for helping me slip out of my old heavy and tired body and into a new sleek and energetic one."
