Adults/teens, couples/relationships, and groups. Bring your anxiety or depression, issues with identity, sexuality, life purpose and meaning, your trauma, your grief. Build self awareness, self acceptance, self compassion. Strengthen your relationships and work through communication barriers. Work through trauma, get support through addiction, be present and live more fully. LGBTQ+, BIMPOC, non-monogamy, sex work competent and responsive. I come with 18+ years of experience as a case manager, special educator, and wilderness first responder.
I offer in-person ecotherapy. Nature and body-based psychotherapy. I come with a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive lens. My approach is direct and holistic, integrating deep listening, nature, spirit, somatics, experiential learning, imagination, symbol, and the arts. I offer individual, relationship, and group ecotherapy, communal rituals and retreats.
Our work is deeper and fuller outdoors where we can engage with movement and nature. We will work to deepen your experience, awareness, and connections. Through feeling and sensation, we will access unconscious needs, blocks, and excesses, and increase self-awareness and acceptance. Discover the wisdom within you, connect to nature, and live a fuller life.
