My ideal client understands that caring for our mental health is an important strategy to living happier, healthier lives. Connecting with nature indoors or outside is good for our mental health, and this is a big part of how I help people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, or difficulties that get in the way of feeling good about your life. Change is not easy, but I am a guide for you, and nature has our backs. We collaborate on an improvement plan while validating your struggles. With nature connection and therapeutic methods, every day holds potential for fulfillment and happiness.
My approach to therapy uses connection to nature integrated with CBT, DBT, ACT, and somatic therapies. Clients talk and process feelings while looking at the sky, touching trees, or walking on a trail. Being present with the natural world is proven to ease symptoms of mental health issues, improve client outcomes, and bring positive moments into our lives.
Call, text, or email to get started, I want to hear your thoughts about improving your life. Your problems matter and they won't magically go away, but I will help you navigate life, reach your goals, and find happiness. I love to "nerd out" on the science behind various therapeutic styles, and we can build treatments to fit your unique life experiences.
