About My Clients

Have you ever thought, "No one understands what I'm going through" "I could have done something differently" "Ill never be as good as them." If this sounds like you, then I can help. As a therapist specializing in outdoor experiences, I harness nature's healing power to support clients in grief & loss, PTSD from outdoor traumas, sports anxiety, & injury recovery. I help my client’s improve their self talk to be more compassionate towards themselves & to feel more confident in themselves & lives

My Background and Approach

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment, combining traditional techniques such as DBT and CBT partnered with the outdoors for better mental well-being and self-connection. I use visualization and mindfulness techniques partnered with motivational interviewing, coaching, and solution focused brief therapy to best support my patients.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Trust me when I say I see you and I understand your struggle. I aim to create a supportive environment for you to explore within and guide you through any challenges that may arise on your journey towards healing and self improvement. If any of this resonates with you, call or email me today.
