Do you want to spend more time in nature to support your mental health or relationship? I offer individual & couples therapy, meeting with adults in a private forest shelter in the Geneva neighborhood of Bellingham. Research & wisdom show that our bodies + minds settle when we are mindful of nature. Let's get grounded outside as we work towards your goals. I am happy to accommodate your accessibility needs! I also offer telehealth and use a certified medical interpretation service for live translation. I use the Gottman method to support partners to build friendship, manage conflict, and build a shared vision for the relationship.
With individuals, I integrate Brainspotting, a body-based & emotion-focused method that is different than talk therapy, but very powerful and healing. As needed, we can support deeper processing and embodiment by finding eye positions that correlate to your mental health challenges and goals... you'll probably be surprised to find how effective this can be!
If you’ve already learned a lot from talk therapy but want to try a more embodied approach that supports you to be with and examine your experiences and needs, let’s talk about how BSP can help your growth and healing. You can request a free 20-min. introduction chat through my website. I'm happy to discuss how I can support your goals for a better life.
