My Approach to Helping
You’ve done the inner work—you’re motivated and open. But despite your insight, you still feel stuck in old patterns, emotions, or beliefs that no longer serve you. You’re ready to move beyond simply understanding your past—you want to embody change, reconnect with yourself, and step into a more aligned, authentic way of living. I offer a holistic approach for those ready to explore healing beyond traditional talk therapy. Through nature-based walk-and-talk sessions, somatic movement, mindfulness, and spiritual practices, I help you shift from overthinking and self-judgment to a place of deep connection, clarity, and acceptance.
I help people gain understanding and clarity about their past and how it impacts their present challenges by integrating mind, body, and spirit. Through nature walk-and-talk therapy, somatic movement, mindfulness, and spiritual practices, I offer a holistic, grounding, and transformative path to emotional and energetic well-being.
I believe we have the power to help ourselves; we just need the right questions to find the answers within. I won’t offer all the advice, but I will guide you in finding clarity. I believe that every person is an architect of their own healing. If you’re looking for a grounded yet transformative path to healing, let's connect!
More Info About My Practice
I have learned that therapy didn't always happen sitting on a couch in an office. Sometimes it did, but sometimes I needed to get out on a trail. Sometimes going for a run was just as therapeutic. I believe in holistic health and want to offer the same insight. I offer the same therapeutic outlets to my clients, whether we meet outside to walk, in a place where you can stretch, or whether you want to learn about meditation, therapy doesn't have to be complicated or scary. It can encompass the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual parts of you. After all, all of those components make up the whole you.
Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With
I offer nature prescriptions via ParkRx. This includes identifying parks and spaces in nature local to you, where you feel safe and secure, identifying activities you can engage in, whether planting a tree, gardening, walking, or sitting, and frequency. Evidence shows that having a prescription is often better at yielding results, whether less anxiety or increased mood, than if I simply talked to you about it.
How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist
There are several reasons as to why I became a therapist. One of the reasons is that I've had to face my own challenges with anxiety and depression, which is another reason I focus and specialize in those two areas. I still have to practice certain coping skills and habits that keep me grounded. At some point, I decided that maybe working through my own challenges would give me more personal meaning if I used those experiences to help others who might be going through the same things. I have sat where you are sitting. I have felt hopeless, invisible, and like I didn't matter. I have asked for help and sought out therapy, and I know how difficult and intimidating that can be. I think my own experience puts me in a unique position to actually empathize with you; to share that space of healing because I know what it's like.
