My Background and Approach
I believe in leaning into our strengths and cultivating ‘good enough’ mindset in deficit areas. We are not meant to live in our struggles - we are more than them. I offer support through humor, practical skill building & challenging/changing your beliefs. There are so many ways we can do this and your individual style will determine how we approach your work in session. I bring an eclectic style through nearly 20 years of professional experience in the helping field. Specifically, I have clinical expertise and training in EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, DBT, men’s issues, depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, effective fathering training and personality disorders. I also love being outside! If you have tried talk therapy with poor results, our nature therapy provides a powerfully effective way to heal in nature.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Life is best with connection, humor, movement and grace. Life is hard...all the time. And the best success I've found is applying humor & grace first to ourselves. If we can find perspective, patience and grace for ourselves, then I think we have a terrific shot at healing. In December 2015, I began writing year-end tangible goals with clear, reachable objectives. A recurring theme in that process was my strong need for connection. With myself. With nature. With others. I've been intentional about this foundational belief throughout my life & would love to help you find your connections to sustain you to live a dignified & fun life! Get to Nature: Nature therapy is really simple: outdoor activities with a little guidance & structure from a health professional or nature guide. Farming, gardening, landscaping, nature walks, shinrin-yoku (or forest bathing for those of us with minimal Japanese language skills) & so much more! Do you garden? That’s Nature Therapy. Let's get outside!
