My Ideal Client

Do you have a desire to connect with nature? Nature-based therapy provides the opportunity to engage with the wisdom of nature to support our process through life's challenges. I am currently offering a group for adults (18+) who have experienced the death of a significant person (or people) in their lives. Online scheduling is available for the group intake.

My Approach to Helping

Welcome! I have been a licensed professional counselor since 2017. I am currently in the process of obtaining my ecotherapy certification from the Earthbody Institute and I have been facilitating nature based therapy and mindfulness practices over the last four years. I personally experience an expansion of my awareness when I am mindfully present outdoors, allowing more space for my thoughts and feelings. This, in turn, helps me feel more present with myself and increases my ability to respond to my needs. I hope to offer a similar experience to you. The Seasons of Grief group will meet on Saturdays from 10:30-12:00pm for 6 weeks, starting October 18th, 2025. Where: Nature park in SW Portland A maximum of 8 people will be admitted into the group. You can schedule your group intake appointment below. For more information, please refer to my website.

My Values as a Therapist

In addition to navigating my own experiences with grief, I have pursued additional training in grief therapy, and I currently serve as a hospice volunteer. I believe we all hold various types and weights of grief, and dominating U.S. culture does not always prioritize holding space for grief. I am a white (Scandinavian, German and Croatian settler descent), cis woman (she/her). As a nature based therapist with these privileged identities, it is important for me to center the deep wound of colonialism: the forced removal and harm inflicted on Indigenous people, as well as a legacy of racism that attempts to separate Black and Indigenous communities from more-than-human relationships. These realities can significantly impact one's experience in natural spaces. I reside and work on the unceded land of the Multnomah, Atfalati, Clackamas, and many others.
