My Approach to Helping

My approach to therapy is client-centered and collaborative. Creativity is key; I provide therapy that is shaped to fit YOU - your preferences, your needs, your goals. I believe in doing things differently. Healing and self-discovery is far too complex & personal for there to be a standard practice. I offer 3 modes of therapy: (1) In-Person (office) (2) Virtual (3) Outdoor/Exposure Therapy. Outdoor/exposure therapy consists of an in-person meeting that takes place at a nature or community-based location as determined in collaboration with you. - Better able to access emotions in nature? See you at Mt. Tabor. - Ready to challenge a fear food? I'll join you. - Interested in exploring mindful movement? Let's go. - Want to explore a new resource? I'm happy to help! *I find a mix of these 3 modes can elevate the therapy process by providing a dynamic path for you to explore healing across a wide range of environments & real-life experiences.
