As the Great American Smokeout approaches, many smokers begin thinking seriously about quitting. Some are making their first attempt. Others have been telling themselves “someday” for years.

I understand both perspectives because I was once a smoker myself.

Today, after more than 30 years as a Master Hypnotherapist, I help smokers throughout Newport Beach and Orange County become smoke-free through my It’s Not Too Late™ Smoking Cessation Program.

I am available for podcast interviews, media commentary, community education events, and expert discussions related to smoking cessation, behavior change, and the Great American Smokeout.

Available Interview Topics:

The Great American Smokeout

Why this annual event continues to be one of the best opportunities for smokers to finally take action.

Why Smokers Keep Delaying Quitting

The psychology behind “I’ll quit someday” and why postponement is often the biggest obstacle to change.

Why Willpower Alone Often Fails

Many smokers believe they need more determination. In reality, smoking is often driven by subconscious habits and emotional associations.

A Former Smoker’s Perspective

What I learned from my own journey and what I wish smokers understood before attempting to quit.

Hypnosis for Smoking Cessation

How hypnosis can help people move beyond white-knuckling cravings and create lasting change.

The Cost of Not Quitting

The greatest cost of smoking is rarely financial. It’s the gradual loss of health, vitality, freedom, and longevity.

Why Lasting Change Is So Hard… and What Actually Works

Understanding why people struggle to break unwanted habits and how meaningful change becomes possible.
