My Story
I created my practice in 2022 with movement and nature in mind. I did my own research to understand how this work could be evidence-informed, while recognizing that indigenous groups have been using movement and nature for well-being long before westernized therapy existed. After seeing how beneficial it has been in my own practice, I want other therapists and the people they work with to experience therapy in this way: fun, relaxing, and enjoyable. I have witnessed how getting outside and/or moving outside can greatly help the therapeutic process. Clients often report that they can think more clearly on a walk or run outside, that it feels more welcoming than an office or telehealth session, and that it feels more like a partnership when we are moving together. Through some trial and error, I learned how to make this kind of therapy work in my practice. Providing therapy a little differently is not wrong, but you may not know where to start! Or maybe you have started and need to run things by someone else to feel more confident. Either way, I am ready to meet you where you are at in the process.
