Many clients come to my practice seeking a path beyond conventional “talk therapy” and a diagnosis-driven approach to mental health. You may already understand your struggles intellectually, yet still feel stuck—longing for a more embodied and transformative process. You want to feel more connected to yourself, more resilient in the face of stress, and more free to live in alignment with who you truly are.
Specialties
Somatic therapy focuses on the body-mind connection, helping clients listen to their bodily sensations and understand how they relate to their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. This approach can be particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, or traumatic stress, as it offers tools to regulate the nervous system, process emotions, and cultivate a sense of safety and presence.
Mindfulness is a way of relating to our present-moment experience with openness and curiosity. By focusing on the here and now, mindfulness helps us better understand our internal world while cultivating greater ease and resilience. I offer a gentle, trauma-sensitive approach to therapeutic meditation, mindful self-inquiry, and building a personal practice.
Outdoor Ecotherapy sessions take therapy beyond the four walls of an office and into the open, living landscape, where healing happens in relationship—not just with ourselves, but with the world around us. In this work, we don’t just exist in nature; we build a relationship with it.
