About My Clients

People in transitions tend to gravitate to me, whether internal, relational, stage of life, career... From their place of questioning and through the therapy process, they tend to more deeply utilize existing supports and discover new ones. Together we seek their full-body "YES!" that helps them move through their transition. This includes finding self-trust, empowering their voice, and connecting to the wisdom of their best self and/or a power greater than self. Pathfinders ACTIVATE here!

My Background and Approach

I specialize in nature-based psychotherapy, which combines the best of clinical therapy with the richness of nature connection practices. My person-centered approach is shaped by my years of experience as a Montessori educator, where we practice following the person's innate drive to learn, grow, and change. As a permaculturist, I seek to help client's find the most sustainable and life-affirming relationships to people and other support systems available to them. As a Certified CA Naturalist, I help people connect more deeply to the natural world around them so that, between sessions, they have access to a support system that can help alleviate symptoms until we are in session again. I have a vast array of tools and practices that have helped hundreds of people improve the quality of their lives and relationships and gain greater insight into themselves, thus empowering them to meet their own needs with greater skills and ease.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am about helping people experience the fullness of life as they envision it unfolding. I believe each person is the actual expert on their life; I am simply a co-journeyer to provide reflection and feedback that helps them hone their own wisdom. I identify as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. I am anti-racist to my core and committed to continue to address implicit bias as it reveals itself to me. I am spiritually multi-cultural and welcome every client's expression of spirituality and likewise respect and honor those who do not identify with a spiritual expression at all. I have no agenda for the trajectory of any client: I support everyone crafting the life path they desire.
