Hi! My greatest passion is working with individuals who wish to free themselves from trauma patterns, negative self-image, dopamine-seeking patterns, and depression. I'm certified in hypnotherapy, ketamine-assisted therapy, and EMDR, and use a client-centered, trauma-informed approach.
I will follow your lead. If you feel comfortable sharing with me from the get-go, that works for me. If it takes 4-5 sessions or longer, that works for me too. I believe that trust and rapport is a privilege; I do not take it for granted. I do not have an "ideal client;" come as you are! You can cry, show zero emotion, have trouble expressing yourself, have a panic attack in session, be unready to work on yourself -- it's all perfect as it is, and we can work with all of it. I never push my clients toward change; I am simply here to support you in YOUR goals. That said, those of my clients who are ready to break out of an unhealthy cycle and put in the work generally see major improvements and higher life satisfaction within 3-6 months.
I tend to do way more listening than talking in an initial session. I want to hear all about your goals, history, and what has worked or hasn't worked in therapy in the past.
