How I work...
Humanistic
A mutually respectful and sincere connection will help us find your unique and natural path towards growth and healing.
Group Rituals & Retreats
Gathering in community is sorely needed as we enter into difficult times: sharing these burdens in deep soulful connection with each other lightens the load.
Psychodynamic
Deep exploration, expression and understanding of our early experiences and emotions helps inform our choices and improve our relationships.
Attachment Based
Our early experiences with our parents imprint upon us a particular style of relating that can potentially interfere with getting our needs met. This tends to remain static until there is a positive corrective experience, which can happen in a safe therapeutic relationship.
Somatic Therapy
Our bodies are incredible feedback systems. We can learn to recognize its language and utilize this to ground, regulate and release. Yoga can be incorporated to support these practices. (RYT 200)
Ecotherapy
Remembering that we are inseparable from nature restores us and reawakens the call to care for the earth.
Ecopsychology and Ecotherapy
Ecopsychology is the study and acknowledgement of our vital relationship with nature. The recognition of our intricate bond with all of nature, in fact our inseparable unity with nature, has been proven to be deeply elemental in relieving psychological and emotional distress. The practice of applying this knowledge is what has become known as Ecotherapy.
​
My training and certification in Ecopsychology lends itself to weaving this wisdom throughout my work, researching and rediscovering deep indigenous teachings as well as, when clinically appropriate, bringing clients into nature to experience first-hand the powerful healing that comes from revisiting and rekindling this inherent bond to the earth. We find our place among the “more-than-human” beings and our psyche is restored.
​
I have been developing a women’s daylong retreat workshop that combines these learnings with yoga and expressive arts. Those that have experienced these retreats have reported long- term restoration and renewal. I plan to expand these venturings into longer workshops so as to deepen the exploration and subsequent benefits.
