Therapy involves facilitating self-growth and understanding by identifying core challenges and setbacks in life and teaching clients how to manage them confidently. Personal challenges can sometimes overshadow a sense of self. They can lead to a loss of perspective and motivation, overwhelming individuals with signals of danger. Resulting perceptions of disappointment and pain can make it difficult to reconnect with the self. Navigating the intricate challenges often associated with life's difficulties leads to a need to explore roots of struggles within the body and mind in a supportive, safe environment.
Let's begin to process emotions and build skills in a different way. I believe combining talk therapy, nature and a great therapeutic relationship can help heal at a completely different level and I work hard to make that happen for everyone I have the privilege to partner with. I accommodate online, at home or in-nature sessions. It starts with safety.
Approaching my work with empathy, respect and a profound admiration for nature and the resilience and strength of each individual. I strive to empower those I have the privilege of working with to befriend emotions, integrate nature into therapy and rediscover their inner strength. Let's talk about customizing a therapy that suits you perfectly.
