Many of my clients tend to be curious about discovery, growth and change, often expressing a desire to re-enliven their own natural ways of being.
I view myself as a resource for those seeking to reconnect with their own nature— being well. My approach draws from awareness practices including mindfulness meditation; nature psychology, both research and practice; and years of clinical, group, & graduate work to encourage ways to tap your resilience, creativity, insight, and calm (equanimity).
I offer fee reduction for teens & pre-teens when appropriate. Free video consult available upon request; income-based sliding scale offered to those in need. Learning how to process, regulate, and integrate challenging experiences rests within you— you have profound resourcefulness. How curious are you about recovering your own potential?
