Are you ready to learn how to train your body and mind to transcend your anxiety, finding calm instead of fear or panic? I offer in-person sessions in nature, specializing in treating anxiety and overwhelm. I also work with emotional support animals. Do you identify as a highly sensitive person? Are you going through a difficult transition? Seeking greater meaning in life? As an integrative, holistic, somatic psychotherapist I assess for functional lifestyle changes, and educate you to deepen your knowledge of and connection with your body, mind, spirit. Outdoor sessions are in Santa Cruz. Virtual sessions in CA are also available.
I have an MA in Holistic Counseling/Buddhist Psychology. Training in Brainspotting, Professional Clinical Somatic Ecotherapy, Integrative Medicine for Mental Health, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Animal Assisted Therapy, Reiki, Expressive Arts, Trauma-informed Yoga, meditation and mindfulness. I specialize in working with anxious and highly sensitive people.
If walking or sitting in the redwoods, on sandy creeksides, or on rocks with cool flowing water while exploring and developing inner and outer worlds in the forest sounds interesting to you, please visit my website and reach out if you think we might be a good fit. I would be honored to be part of your healing journey.

I begin with an integrative approach, exploring the ways you currently care for yourself on a daily basis, looking for functional ways to support your system. You will learn tools to communicate with and befriend your own body. With Brainspotting we use the visual field to help process and integrate emotions and experiences.
