Life. It’s about how well we navigate the world around us; our family, friends, partner, career, health, financial obligations, etc. Our happiness is dependent on our capacity to keep “it” together. When one of these is confronted with a challenge, life begins to feel unbalanced. It’s that easy to lose our grasp on happiness. When this happens, life becomes more about survival and getting through the day than it does about savoring the moments and counting our blessings. This is where I can help. Together we will focus on life’s challenges and together we will find the opportunities to reclaim and maintain your Complete Peace.

My ideal client is willing to rethink what therapy looks and feels like - being open to a variety of techniques; collaborating; and engaging body, mind, and emotions, particularly in the outdoors. I conduct experiential outdoor sessions (when weather permits), helping clients in connecting with themselves by grounding in the supportive power of nature. Walking and talking in an outdoor space allows us to engage in an informal environment, while still providing therapeutic benefits.
