Scientifically, change occurs when we develop new neural pathways. Humanly, change occurs when we experience. Nature helps to facilitate change within our brain as we embrace our innate biophilia. When we connect and identify with land, we re-own its vital and powerful energies, and the dynamism of the Earth is reflected within us.Through facilitated integration with nature, it is my objective to help reconnect you with the natural world. Along with nature-based activities, talk therapy is offered. However, sometimes the silence we experience in nature can be a great teacher. It is up to you determine what works best for you!

Everyone is worthy of growth, healing, and living authentically.

I believe that we all have tremendous potential for healing and improving our relationships with ourselves and those around us. From the time we are born, we are met with messages from society at large, the families we grow up in, and the systems and institutions we interact with that inform how we see ourselves. But what if some of that information is flawed? Figuring out our own truth can be incredibly challenging when we have been working with bad facts. I provide my clients with a non-judgmental space to see themselves with clear eyes, and increase safety, harmony and understanding in their relationships, to reach their goals.

Current availability limited to spots btw 11am-4pm. My practice focuses on anxiety and life transitions and I have special niches for people without kids and those affected by cancer. You may also be unsure about a life transition or parenthood and that is ok too! In fact, I think pursuing therapy during this ambivalence could really helpful. Your story is your own and I’m here to support you with enthusiastic empathy. I know that a childless/childfree speciality is rare and I have lived experience in this area.

During our lives, we encounter experiences that can move us away from a direct connection to ourselves. Influences from family, friends, peers, jobs, and the greater culture can affect how we view and express ourselves. We can become conditioned to thinking, feeling and behaving in a way that is incompatible with who we really are and what we want in our lives. This compromises our ability to value our unique identity and to express and apply ourselves, and our strengths. I will help you to identify, understand and remove barriers that are keeping you from realizing your fullest potential. I offer Telehealth only in California.
