You're not  broken. Your unconscious just learned

the wrong lesson. Let's fix that.

Most change techniques work only on the conscious level.  I work with you on the unconscious level—so transformation sticks.

Real Change. Real Fast.

My clients typically experience a noticeable shift in just 1–3 sessions—not months of talk therapy. You’ll feel calmer, clearer, and more in control—because we go straight to the root.

“After years of trauma and temporary fixes, working with Don provided lasting healing. His calm, empowering approach helped me reconnect with myself. I only wish I'd found him sooner.”

    Frequently Asked Questions 

  • Is hypnosis safe?
    Absolutely. Hypnosis is a focused, relaxed state your mind already familiar with—like when you’re lost in thought or deeply engaged in a story or a video game. In hypnosis, you are fully aware and in control, while your unconscious is open to positive change. With a skilled guide, it’s a safe and proven way to transform patterns that have been holding you back.

  • Will I lose control?
    No. In fact, hypnosis puts you more in control than ever—over your thoughts, feelings, and actions. You decide what happens. You can speak, move, or stop at any moment. Nothing can be done against your values or wishes. I’m here to help you access your inner resources, not to take them away.

  • What if I’ve tried everything and nothing works?
    This is actually when many people come to me—and finally experience results. Most therapytalk therapyfocuses on consciously trying to change. Hypnosis and NLP go deeper, working on the unconscious level—where your habits, emotional responses, and automatic patterns live. When we address change at this level, even long-standing issues can finally shift.

  • How many sessions will I need?
    That depends on your goals and your unique situation. Some people notice a shift after just one session, while others benefit from several. We’ll talk about your needs in our consultation and create a plan to help you get the results you’re looking for—efficiently and effectively.
