• 12 years of experience as an Outdoor Educator/wilderness guide.

• 6 years of clinical experience working with individuals and couples.

Currently, I am interested and curious about what it means to trust intuition, the movements of soul in the world, redefining love, and how nature and wilderness settings have the capacity to hold a container for healing and unconscious examination. I enjoy learning through movement and for that reason I am drawn to a wide variety of physical activities and spending extended periods of time in wildspaces. Two question guide me at this point in time:

What does it mean to be comfortable with uncertainty?

How do we learn to learn to embrace the unknown in our lives in order to live better?

I don’t believe there is a singular answer to these questions, but as a therapist I aim to help you:

• Find a sense of balance.

• Discover connection between your body, mind, and soul.

• Attain relief from current afflictions.

I hope to bear witness to your life story in order to understand who you are and what moves you as a human in this world. I give honest reflections, provide challenging questions and feedback, I am not afraid of being messy or wrong, and with your collaboration I hope to develop a relationship that fosters safety, insight, exploration, creativity, and imagination. There is nothing that I have said that has not already been said better elsewhere, so I will leave with Rumi’s poem, A Guest House:

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
Some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
Who violently sweep your house
Empty of all its furniture,
Still, treat every guest honorably.
They may be clearing you out
For some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
Meet them at the door laughing,
And invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes.
Because each has been sent
As a guide from beyond.
