Hypnosis for performing artists, neurodivergent adults and teens · LGBTQ+-affirming · Serving clients globally via Google Meet
I'm a hypnotist, a former stage and voice actor, and I'm autistic. Those three things are not separate facts about me — they're the same fact told three ways.
My work is simple in concept, even when it's profound in effect. Using hypnosis, I help people allow access to what's already inside them — the calm, the skill, the resilience, the creativity — especially in the moments when it feels just out of reach.
Whether you're a performing artist who needs those resources available on demand, a neurodivergent person navigating a world that wasn't designed for you, or a clinician looking for a skilled collaborator — what happens here is the same:
We make space. We allow. The rest tends to follow.
For Performing Artists
You know the difference between a rehearsal room and an audition room. Same material, same preparation — completely different nervous system.
Hypnosis works directly with that gap. Not to make you someone different, but to give you reliable access to what you've already built — your skill, your instincts, your joy in the work — exactly when the stakes are highest.
Things we work on together:
- Audition and performance nerves
- Rejection handling and reframing
- Line, song and choreography memorization
- Deep character preparation and interpretation
- Creative blocks and goal focusing
- Musicianship and dance mastery
- Fear work and habit change
- Chronic pain management
- Special intensive preparation for important auditions
I've been where you are — on stage, in the booth, in the wings. I became a hypnotist because I needed one.
For Neurodivergent People
Yes, I can help you create change. No, I don't want to change you — not who you are at your core.
I'm AuDHD myself. This isn't a specialty I developed from the outside. It's where I live.
Hypnosis here is built for how we actually process — no surprises, no forced visualization, no requirement to be perfectly still, no doing it "wrong." Just your mind, working in whatever way is yours.
Things we work on together:
- Stress relief and nervous system settling
- Rumination and racing thoughts
- Sleep
- Specific fears
- Echologia relief (the internal repetition of music, phrases, sounds)
- Misophonia and sensory triggers
- Past experiences — with complete privacy, nothing revealed to me
- Self-hypnosis you can use on your own
You don't have to explain yourself here. You don't have to perform. Whatever your mind does in trance is exactly right.
For Therapists and Counselors
If you have a client who is stuck, shut down, or not yet able to bring something into the room — I may be able to help.
My sessions are most often a single visit. I'm not building a caseload. I'm clearing a specific internal obstacle so your client can bring more of themselves back to the work you're doing together. This approach is rooted in my training under Gerald F. Kein at OMNI Hypnosis Training Center — one of the most influential figures in modern hypnosis practice, whose methodology was built on the principle that the client's own capacity is the most powerful tool in the room.
I work frequently with neurodivergent clients whose systems need settling before deeper therapeutic work is accessible. I also work with clients experiencing alexithymia — who genuinely cannot identify what they're feeling — where hypnosis can help locate and name what talk-based work hasn't yet been able to reach. And for clients who know something is there but can't yet bear to say it aloud, Ultra-Height hypnosis allows that work to happen with complete privacy, nothing revealed even to me.
I'm happy to communicate with you directly about your client's needs before and after a session.
Trained in the full scope of hypnosis through OMNI Hypnosis Training Center, I'm able to work with many concerns beyond those listed here. If you're not sure whether I can help, just ask.
