"I was referred to Skip from my previous therapist when body brushing, essential oils, and reiki didn’t work to heal my mental issues. Turns out you need different tools to deal with CPTSD! Skip has been amazing to work with – we have tried different methods to find the ones that work best for me, while still challenging me along the way. I feel like Skip wants me to get better and not just be money in his pocket, so he gets me out of my comfort zone but in a safe and structured way. He wants me to see results and be happier and healthier. If it gets too intense, we take a break and have gentler sessions until I’m ready to attack the problem again. I was hesitant to work with a man, especially when it came to discussing the female experience, but Skip makes me feel heard and understood. I was also hoping that working with a man would challenge me to break down some prejudices I had about men, and he has been instrumental in that success – he’s got confident energy but feels compassionate and very safe. The last thing I want to rave about is that he is excellent at helping me co-regulate while I learn to self-regulate. It’s an incredible talent and one that has helped me heal so much."
