A warm welcome from Steve

I’m a licensed hypnotherapist and active member of the National Guild of Hypnotists and Washington State Hypnosis Guild, working with peers to maintain high standards in clinical hypnosis. As a Certified SMART Recovery® Facilitator, I lead groups in self-management, motivation building, and balanced living. I’ve completed Mental Health First Aid training, which informs my understanding of wellness and safety, and I encourage clients to seek additional support whenever they feel it would be helpful.

My training in interviewing and counseling—from Vancouver Community College and Vancouver Coastal Health’s Communication Skill Building program—has deepened my client-centered communication, active listening, and empathy. In both individual sessions and group settings, I use collaborative techniques to foster supportive environments for reflection and personal development.

Hypnotherapy and recovery facilitation are complementary approaches—not medical or mental-health treatment. I’m passionate about helping others explore their strengths and potential.
