About

Hello, I'm Eric.

I'm a Certified Hypnotherapist who helps people move past limiting beliefs, ease what weighs on them, and grow into the lives they want.

I work with people online from wherever they feel most at ease, offering a calm, collaborative space where change can feel possible again.

Why I do this work

We all have the capacity to change

I spent decades in corporate management, leading teams and helping people grow. Over those years, I came to see that most of what holds us back isn't a lack of ability. It's the beliefs we carry about what's possible for us.

That realization drew me to hypnotherapy. I believe each of us already has the capacity to change. Often, we just need the right tools and the right conversations to unlock it. I've watched many people change for the better once they were willing to engage in that work.

I know this from experience, too. Building a second calling after decades in corporate life taught me that change is available to all of us, at any stage of life. It's a privilege to help others discover that for themselves.

My approach

Many tools, one gentle approach

I draw on several methods and choose what fits you best. Here's what each one means in practice.

Ericksonian hypnosis
A permissive, conversational style that works with your own language, experiences, and inner resources rather than commands.
Kappasian hypnosis
An understanding of how your mind best takes in suggestion, so each session is tailored to the way you learn and respond.
NLP
Practical tools, such as anchoring a calm, resourceful state you can return to whenever you need it.
EFT (tapping)
A gentle technique for easing strong emotions in the moment, which you can also use on your own.
Parts-informed work
Getting curious about the part of you behind a habit or fear, so it can be understood rather than fought.
Working together

What you can expect from me

  • We work together. You are the expert on your life, and I guide the process.
  • You remain aware and in control throughout every session.
  • Sessions are shaped around you, never read from an off-the-shelf script.
  • Every person and every concern receives the same care and attention.
  • No packages or pressure. You decide if and when to book each session.
  • What you share stays confidential, within the limits of the law.

Hypnotherapy complements, and never replaces, medical or mental-health care. If something you're facing calls for a different kind of support, I'll tell you and help you find it.

Beyond the practice

A little about me

I'm from Utah, and I'm a husband and father. I find my own calm in nature and in a good book, and I bring that same sense of quiet curiosity to my work with clients.
