Let me tell you a little about myself:

• Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist,
• Certified Life-Counselor
• California Registered Drug Addiction and Alcohol Specialist
• Interventionist 
• Relationship Coach

Member:

• American Hypnosis Association 
•  AFL/CIO Hypnotist Union Local #472
• International Alchemy Guild
  

I am a High Honors Graduate from HMI (Hypnosis Motivation Institute).
HMI is the world's largest accredited Hypnosis College with over 60 therapists working at its clinics in Los Angeles and Atlanta, Georgia.  Founded by Dr. John G. Kappas, the institute is the premier source for hypnotherapy for the last 30 years.  Dr. Kappas revolutionized hypnotherapy with his theory on Emotional/Physical suggestibility. 

The HMI program trains and teaches every therapist in conventional methods of the therapeutic process and has a rigorous training program that prepares its graduates for professional service to clients and to our industry.  In addition to the conventional methods of therapy, I combine cognitive portions of a session with hypnosis for the most effective results for self-improvement and change.

I am a graduate from Breining Institute in their Addictive Studies Program and working towards a Doctorate of Addictive Disorders.  Breining Institute is one of only 3 California recognized accredited schools for addcitive studies and provides a comprehensive learning program for drug and alcohol counselors.

As an interventionist I am trained in the Johnson methods of intervention work, recently portrayed in the documentary programs "Intervention" on A&E cable network.  I work with families and individuals offering private drug counseling and treatment programs as well as group therapies.

I have been a lecturer and instructor in the field of Mental Health Studies for many years and continue to offer workshps and classes at little to no cost in an effort to make self-improvement accesible to everyone.  I also contribute pro bono (no charge) sessions to addicted persons who suffer from the affliction of drug and alcohol dependency.  I speak occasionally at Narcotics Anonymous and other addiction counseling groups as well as offer my services to the penitentiary systems to aid in the rehabilitation process of our valuable members of society lost to crime and poverty.

It is my sincerest pleasure to be in a profession where I am in the unique position to help people make more out of their lives.  I continue to offer my services to clients in the San Fernando Valley as well as my local community, here in the Santa Clarita Valley. 

I am in the process of co-founding a Spiritual Awareness & Wellness Center here in the SCV with other alternative health care professionals.  I hope you will continue to check this site for updates on the progress of this center and what it will offer our community.
