Loss is inevitable - whether it's a loved one, a sense of yourself, a connection, a part of your identity, or any other tangible or intangible shift that brings grief, confusion, sorrow, loneliness...... You don't need to face it alone. In-person or online, through nature therapy, creative arts, education, exploration, conversation.
Loss is inevitable - whether it's a loved one, a sense of yourself, a connection, a part of your identity, or any other tangible or intangible shift that brings grief, confusion, sorrow, loneliness......you don't need to face it alone.
Let's figure it out together.
First session
Our first 1-3 sessions will be an exploration of therapy goals and the biological, psychological, and social factors that have contributed to the unique person you are today. We will also explore your interest in the use of creative arts and ecotherapy in sessions.
Strengths
I have many years of life and professional experience which has allowed me to have an extensive range of tools at my disposal. Whether creating a vision board, taking a mindfulness walk through the woods, sharing poetry, photographing nature, grounding with rocks, cleansing with water, creating a dream garden - whatever you connect to, we can discover healing through creativity, nature, and story.
Ideal clients
Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Womens Issues, Coping with Grief and Loss, Life Transitions
Origin story
I began my career as a Creative Arts Therapist and most recently trained as an Eco(nature) Therapist. Somewhere in-between I completed my counseling degree and am fully licensed as an LCPC. I really enjoy guiding people toward discovery by helping them to tell their stories. I have found that the creative arts and nature can be incredible ways to shift perspective and facilitate self discovery. It is exciting and rewarding to share that with others and to see the growth that inevitably happens along the way.
