About ax

I have twenty years of experience as a licensed systems therapist and hypnotherapist working with sensitive systems in emergent states to support Sensitive Leadership as a way of life. I have completed the AAMFT Approved Supervisor training and supervise associate therapists who are interested in developing skills in this work. I am queer and gender non-conforming, sensory sensitive, neuroqueer, and support developing queer therapists and clients in understanding and centering in their own sense of self as they engage their work and lives. I also have personal experience with years of healing and integrating kundalini awakening through psychedelic supports. Psychedelics allow for access to your bodily states through a suppression of your default mode of operating and defenses that may normally suppress your self emergence based on attachment and identity traumas you may have experienced. This can be profound treatment for neurodivergent folks who have attachment and identity trauma.
