Throughout my career, I have worked with clients from childhood to early adulthood, in addition to couples and families who have struggled with depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, self-harm, stress, grief, behavioral issues, and relationship issues. I have a particular interest in helping clients navigate life transitions, such as identity searching, career changes, and loss, and helping clients find meaning and purpose in their lives. I work to create a safe and supportive space where people can explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences without fear of judgment. I will help you to find your path forward.
Nature-based therapy offers a unique approach to healing, using activities like hiking, nature walks, gardening, and outdoor crafts to foster relaxation, personal growth, and emotional well-being. Whether you’re a nature lover or new to the outdoors, this therapeutic style is for anyone—children, teens, and adults.
At Green Haven Healing, nature therapy can be as varied as your needs: from traditional talk sessions in the office to making bush-craft projects, hiking, or simply sitting outside and taking in the surroundings. The beauty of nature often helps make therapy fun, while still addressing serious mental health challenges, I’m here to guide you.
