sessions
Sessions are one hour and take place over zoom. I work at the intersection of my therapeutic and energy work training. If you are in a place where you need to talk and process more, we will lean into that. If you are feeling emotionally heightened we may bring in Reiki as an energetic support (feels like a guided meditation) to bring in ease for whatever the charged experience is. I find we most utilize Reiki when connecting with old memories that are painful. If you are a Reiki Practitioner yourself I often incorporate suggestions for focusing your practice between sessions. Regardless of the format I will always ask you what you’re comfortable with.
I would describe my style as active since I like to give frameworks, strategies and insight regularly. I interact with my clients casually because I don’t enjoy the formal energy that therapists sometimes carry and that I used to try and embody when I was newer to the field. It didn’t feel authentic to me and it didn’t feel that useful. As a therapy client many times over and a student to different Reiki Master Teachers, I most appreciated those who didn’t take themselves overly seriously and were comfortable with their humanness. So that is how I try to be as well. That being said I do take my responsibility seriously. It is my job to make you feel accepted. It my job to earn your trust. If there are things you aren’t ready to share with me that is my job to completely respect. I will not push you beyond where you are ready to go, but I will beckon you out of your comfort zone if I believe it is for your best interests. I will always see you as the ultimate expert of your own life and myself as simply an assistant in opening up pathways of thought and understanding.
Format
I have seen many of my clients for over three years on a weekly/bi-weekly basis and absolutely love going on the deeper path with them through the many different phases of their lives. I also enjoy short term work and think it can be incredibly effective!
Therefore I offer packages of four sessions for those who have a specific focus. Sometimes those turn into ongoing clients and sometimes they will come back at another time for a new package. Once I have worked with you either through a package or in an ongoing capacity I am always happy to do a one off session with you if needed even if we haven’t been working together for a long time.
My practice is majority 1 on 1 however I have done couples work, sibling work and family work which I find very meaningful. These tend to be short term (4-10 sessions).
pricing/policies
I currently charge $150 / hour whether that’s ongoing or a package of four. The only difference is that for packages you pay upfront the $600 whereas for weekly you pay day of session. For couples/pairs I charge $220 an hour. I take zelle, venmo, and paypal. I do not currently have a cancellation policy as I find that my clients are quite respectful to showing up for their weekly appointments and I like to be flexible if they have something come up. I try my best to reschedule if you are unable to make your usual time/day. As my practice grows I may implement a late cancellation fee but for now it’s working as is.
Consultations
Consultations are 20-30 minutes over zoom. They are an opportunity for us both to get to know each other. I’ll spend the first half asking you a few questions and leave the second half open for you to do the same. Once you email me I will reach out within 48 hours to get something scheduled.
