In-person, nature- based, mindful movement, and virtual talk therapy, coaching, and consulting

I believe in a compassionate, holistic, and personal approach to healing and growth. I know that the outdoors, play, and creative expression are crucial to development and reaching one’s highest potential, even for adults. The combination of my life passions, education, and career experience has inspired me to merge more traditional talk therapy with mindfulness, play and the outdoors. I frequentl

y incorporate hiking, running, surfing, art, writing, and other forms of creative and active expression to best serve my clients. I have extensive professional training and significant experience with these activities and am able to easily adapt them for therapeutic and team building purposes. In addition to psychotherapy/coaching, I also consult and collaborate with businesses, non-profits, and other organizations to develop a more innovative, nurturing, and fulfilling work environment. As I have transitioned from the standard 9 to 5 job to more flexible contracts, I'm now able to pursue my own creative outlets professionally and am blessed that I can incorporate all of my passions into supporting others in the pursuit of theirs. Overall, my enthusiasm and empathy create a warm and comfortable environment for clients to step outside their comfort zone and move toward their highest potential.

In a time of "build fast and break things," "move slow and build things" has become our motto.

It sure is exciting to blow things up when they aren't working. But too much has been left broken (the environment, relationships, minds, and bodies) due to the lack of wise decision making that comes with impulsivity and immediate gratification.

We're more stressed and depressed than ever. We're lonely and disconnected, eating and buying our feelings. FOMO runs our lives, and more is never enough.

Slowing down regulates our nervous systems, puts us back into the present moment, and gives us the time to mindfully make choices that support our values, goals, and well-being, as well as those around us and the world as a whole.

Visit the blog link in bio for some tips on how to slow your roll. And I'd love to hear how you slow things down when life's moving too fast.
