Great to meet you!

Each person has a unique story. I am well trained as a psychotherapist, EMDR practitioner and hypnotherapist. I listen deeply to who you are and what you authentically want to create for yourself, supporting you to find lanes that allow you to accomplish what you desire in love and work. I also work professionally as a writer and visual artist. I can be found on Amazon.com and at martinejbyer.substack.com.

I have coached many clients on dual careers as they are developing and growing artistic work lives and careers.

My approach to therapy

Therapy is change work. What do you want to feel and what do you want to achieve and how can you get there ? I am very respectful in our therapeutic alliance. I support you to work through conflicts, to connect to authentic feelings and beliefs, strengthening your personal power to choose wisely. With a mind/body approach, you can learn tools and skills to become clear, build new habits to support you to get where you want to go inside and in practical places in the outside world.

What you can expect from me

I am warm and active in all sessions and particularly in our first meeting unless it feels more worthwhile and necessary to listen more and be less active. I check in on this with you. It is important for you to feel safe and for me to get an understanding and a feel for what prompted you to make this step and to explore how I can be of help in what you are seeking for yourself. I also use a creative and humorous style when it can be useful.
