My Experience 

I started reading college level psychology books at age 15 up to and through college, earning my degree in 1978. Just before the year 2000, I then studied hypnotherapy at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute in Tarzana CA which was conveniently just up the street from where I was born and raised since I really hate long distance driving.

In and around Tarzana, some of my clients are CEOs, movie stars, popular singers and pro athletes, since they mostly live in my surrounding area. I mention this because they have a much higher level of anxiety, stress, depression, fear and lack of REM sleep, all of which are my specialties, as well as the issues I listed on my home page. Many times I have met with them backstage after a concert or after a day of shooting a film and instantly brought them to a deep level of relaxation so that they don't use or no longer need alcohol, drugs or meds to wind down.

I eventually moved 140 miles north of Los Angeles just above Bakersfield, originally to care for my aging parents who have since passed away, and have since offered virtual sessions to my existing Los Angeles clients as well as to new clients. And of course, "in person" sessions in Bakersfield, since I now live near there, are also available if requested.

A note here. YouTube is home for a lot of hypnotists that have no medical background and therefore limit their abilities to comedy stage hypnosis and street hypnosis while hopefully leaving the serious medical issues to us real medical professionals.

As a medical professional, I must emphasize that all of my clients, both individual and corporate, are kept confidential. I don't kiss and tell, as the saying goes. I do not seek the spotlight, only to help those in need.
