I help people end the problems that everything else hasn't touched.

What I Do

I've spent 10 years practicing conversational hypnosis, trained under Igor Ledochowski in one of the most rigorous hypnotherapy programs available. Before that, I spent over a decade leading intensive spiritual development work, teaching altered-state processes to hundreds of people. I've worked with hundreds of people who've already tried therapy, coaching, spiritual work, and every self-help method they could find.

They come to me for two reasons:

Most methods give you insight. I give you insight and integration. When your unconscious finally agrees with what your conscious mind wants, the problem doesn't need managing anymore. It just stops running you.

How I Got Here (And Why It Matters to You)

I didn't start out as a hypnotist. For most of my adult life, I was a musician, playing gigs, teaching guitar, scraping by. Hypnosis was something I'd learned young (my dad studied it in college), but it was always a side thing. A tool I used on myself to perform better, stay calm on stage, connect with people.

For over a decade, I also led spiritual development groups in the Bay Area, teaching altered-state work, inner journeys, and identity transformation to hundreds of people. I didn't call it hypnosis at the time. The tradition I was trained in had oaths against hypnosis, in fact. But looking back, that's exactly what it was.

I originally studied psychology in college, but quit after realizing I was only interested in solving my problems, not other people's. At the time, that felt like a disqualification. Now I understand it's exactly what makes me effective. I can hold space for my clients' pain without drowning in it.

But despite all that background, I didn't take hypnosis seriously as a profession until my life forced me to.

Eventually, a friend offered me full-time work at his homebrew shop in Santa Rosa. We packed up and moved. But the job fell through almost immediately. He couldn't afford to keep me on full-time, and we couldn't qualify for housing on part-time pay. So I took a job at a company in San Rafael and started commuting on Highway 101 every day.

That commute nearly killed me.

There's a spot just outside Petaluma where traffic always slammed to a stop. Every single day, I'd see a crashed car. Small fender-benders. Cars fully rolled. And every day, I'd think: It's just a matter of time before I'm one of them.

One morning in 2021, it almost happened.

I looked up in my rearview mirror and saw the car behind me wasn't stopping. I had maybe two seconds. I jerked the wheel left, swerved into the median, and stopped about two feet from the car in front of me. The car behind me stopped inches from where I'd just been.

I sat there, heart pounding, and texted my wife: I can't do this. This drive is going to kill me.

She replied: Then don't. Go full-time.

I put in my notice that day. A month later, I started running ads for hypnosis sessions.

That was five years ago.

Since then, I've worked with hundreds of people, most of them smart, self-aware adults who've done years of therapy, coaching, and personal development work. They come to me because they're still repeating the same pattern. They understand why they do it, but that understanding hasn't changed the automatic response.

And here's what I've learned:

The tools that pulled me out of the Target parking lot at 3am are the same ones that end 20-year anxiety patterns for my clients. The parts integration work I did on myself at that Igor Ledochowski training, the one that made the website block disappear overnight, is the same process I use to help people stop sabotaging their relationships, their health, their peace.

The difference between insight and change isn't more understanding. It's whether your nervous system got the memo.
