Walk and talk therapy is especially beneficial for those struggling with ADHD, depression, anxiety, stress, insomnia,
grief
and
loss
, and trauma.
Imagine seeing squirrels scamper or hearing birds chirping during your therapy session. Or feeling the warm sunshine on your skin and fresh air in your lungs. If being in nature sounds more healing and less intimidating than sitting in an office, then walk and talk therapy may be just what you're looking for! Walking helps the brain to release "feel good" chemicals, helping to alleviate depression and anxiety and reduce stress. Walking decreases negative emotions and promotes mental clarity and positive thinking. It can boost self-esteem, increase energy, improve sleep quality, and allow you to reconnect with the natural world.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a humanistic approach, which means that I deeply value the possibility and uniqueness of every individual. I am passionate about dismantling systemic oppression and white-body supremacy. I believe that healing begins with unconditional positive regard, and so I invite clients to share their unique experience(s), in an environment of openness without judgment and without criticism. From this place, I believe each person can begin to make personal shifts toward discovering and becoming their most authentic self.

At this time, you may be struggling with problems in relationships, family, work, or conflicts within yourself. Being so close to the problem, it can be difficult to find the solutions. I believe therapy is an extremely effective process for finding these solutions and creating a fulfilling and satisfying life for yourself. As your therapist, I can guide you to identify patterns of behavior, feelings, and attitudes that are self-defeating or standing in your way. I can help you access your inner wisdom, strengths, and resources that will facilitate the changes you seek.

Mental health is as important as physical health. We live in a society in which we experience trauma and are confronted with major stressors. We have not been taught how to cope in healthy ways. I work with people to develop strategies to minimize distress by identifying and implementing healthy coping mechanisms to use throughout their lifetime. I believe that the client/therapist relationship is central to a person's ability to change and grow. My practice is informed by mindfulness and non judgmental. I incorporate a variety of evidenced based therapeutic approaches to assist in improving overall mental wellness.

I specialize in relationship issues, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, trauma, family conflicts, and
grief
.
I can be helpful to individuals who are wanting to understand themselves better and are invested in their personal growth. Sometimes people are aware of issues that keep showing up, but have been unable to work through them alone. Sometimes a crisis occurs that acts as a catalyst for seeking professional guidance. Often symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and insomnia interfere with enjoyment. Frequently relationships are not working well and support in resolving conflicts and communication skills can be crucial. I have over 30 years experience in helping individuals and couples grow and increase their happiness and well being.
