Frequently Asked Questions

---

I offer virtual psychotherapy (NY & PA residents only), virtual and in-person hypnotherapy & sound baths (1:1 or group), and monthly group hypnosis/sound bath events in Syracuse, NY (Branches Yoga & Wellness Center).

Psychotherapy, also known as ‘talk therapy‘ is talk-based and supports you in understanding and processing emotions and thought patterns. Hypnotherapy accesses a state of meditation and works with the subconscious mind to shift deeper beliefs and emotional responses. Both approaches can be powerful and complementary.

Group hypnosis is a guided experience using breathwork, visualization, and calming suggestions to promote deep relaxation, self-reflection, and emotional healing. You can sit or lie down—just bring yourself, a yoga mat & blanket, and an open mind.

A sound bath is a deeply calming meditative experience where you’re immersed in soothing frequencies from instruments like crystal singing bowls, chimes, and other sound-healing tools.

The vibrations help your nervous system shift out of stress mode, release built-up tension, and settle into a state of ease. Many people experience quieter thoughts, emotional release, and a grounded sense of clarity afterward. It’s restorative, noninvasive, and accessible to all levels of experience.

Hypnotherapy isn’t about losing control—it’s about reconnecting to yourself on a deeper level.

When we’ve experienced trauma or chronic anxiety, our subconscious mind often adopts patterns to help us feel safe—like staying on alert, people-pleasing, or shrinking ourselves to avoid conflict. These beliefs and behaviors are like protective layers, but over time, they can start to feel heavy, exhausting, and hard to break free from.

Subconscious reprogramming is a gentle,  therapeutic way to guide your nervous system out of survival mode. In a calm, deeply relaxed state, we work with the part of your mind that holds onto those old beliefs—so we can begin to release them and plant new ones that feel safe, empowering, and true.

You’re not broken. Your mind has just been trying to protect you. 

Hypnotherapy simply helps you remember what it feels like to feel grounded, worthy, and at peace—exactly as you are.

A Tranquility Kit is a curated collection of grounding, sensory-based items designed to support calm, mindfulness, and emotional regulation. Each kit includes a mix of tools that engage different senses—such as a soothing scent, a sensory breathing aid, a journal to write your thoughts, a comforting object you can hold.

These items can be used during a night of self-care, before bed, after a stressful day, or anytime you need to slow down and reconnect with yourself. Each piece is intentionally chosen to help you create small moments of peace, anywhere.

Tranquility Kits are complimentary with your first service booking (monthly groups & 1:1 sessions), and offered as an add-on to private group events! 💛 Use code TRANQUIL10 for $10 off when you sign up for your first service!
