About My Clients
I have a significant amount of experience and training working with people with co-occurring disorders (substance use and other mental health issues). I have been employed at a treatment facility for the past few years and now I offer private practice for clients with trauma, substance use issues, adhd, anxiety, depression, and overall wellness goals.
My Background and Approach
I think about wellness often in terms of holistic recovery and a return to our authentic nature. How do we live our best and most full life? What can we change to behave and see things differently? I offer online services and nature-based therapy. I am person-centered so I believe a client is the expert on themselves. I think we should learn to trust our gut-- our brain isn't always our wisest part! I also believe there is not a single path to truth or health. We collaborate to discovery new ways of living and use evidence based interventions to find what works.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in peace and love. I am open minded, affirming, and I really care about people. I love hearing other's stories and work with people to refrain them to find the positives. I always strive to find that silver lining. I attend Quaker meeting and am an ally to the LGBTQ+ community. Evidence shows that nature based settings reduce stress and I hope to offer more services in nature in the future (wilderness, walk and talk, ocean or sailing based sessions, etc). I am always reading two books: one for fun and one for professional learning. What book have you read and loved lately?
