My Experience 

I got my degree in psychology in 1978, I later studied hypnosis at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute in Tarzana CA for 10 months, graduating in 2000. Additional studies in college were neuroscience, physiology, pathology and nutrition.

An awful lot of my target audience in and around Los Angeles county are the elite, such as CEOs, movie stars, pro athletes, singers and actors who have a much higher level of anxiety, stress, depression, fear and lack of REM sleep. 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 and self-appreciation so that they don't use or no longer need alcohol, drugs or meds to wind down.

Teaching and incorporating self-appreciation within my hypnosis and therapy sessions is especially important for actors and stage singers who feel their personal life is less important than the life they portray on stage or in films. Depression sets in when they feel they don't measure up in real life to what is expected of them from their fans. I teach self-appreciation so that they can see the greater picture in what they have to offer society as a human being, outside of their professional career.

It was during the pandemic in 2020 that I moved north of Los Angeles near 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, no matter where they live.

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 comedy 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 do not seek the spotlight, only to help those in need.
