Therapy for Vibrant Living
Successfully reconnecting clients with their bodies, minds, and spirits using a holistic and integrative approach.
Grounded in nature
Clients are understood to be active members of the natural world around them.
Therefore, we lean into responding to seasonal change, connecting with the earth to regulate, embracing physiological benefits of outdoor time, and moving within the cycles of our own lives.
Nature-based therapy is foundational to this practice. Clients are encouraged to increase their connection to nature, including by attending sessions in private natural settings if available.
Trauma-
informed
Unfortunately, it is also understood that clients rarely get through life without experiencing great pain.
We use a variety of methods to reprocess trauma, integrate experiences, and restore a compassionate, caregiving relationship with the self.
In this practice, your clinician is trained in EMDR, IFS, ACT, DBT, CBT, narrative therapy, inner child work, polyvagal theory, and existential therapy as strategies to relieve trauma symptoms.
One of our goals is post-traumatic growth; with proper supported processing, we can transform pain and trauma into empathy, compassion, strength, and other unique and valuable gifts.
About me: I am passionate about helping others heal and thrive.I draw from personal and professional experience to find creative ways to help my clients. I firmly believe that every person is capable of healing from pain and trauma, and I help my clients create a life that they love. My approach is rooted in embodiment, spirituality, and connection with nature. When I’m offline, I can be found tending to my house plants, creating art and poetry, and looking at moss in the forest.
