Therapy Services
In-person and teletherapy options available
Individual Therapy
I offer individual psychotherapy and counseling. I believe that our bodies, minds, and spirits intrinsically move towards healing and wellness. Together, we can work to uncover and shift internal and external barriers to this healing process and help you achieve your goals. This will often involve talk therapy, somatic exercises, therapeutic art, and psychoeducation. The treatment approach will be individualized based on your wants and needs.
Ecotherapy
I have completed level one of Earthbody Institute’s Ecotherapy certification program. Ecotherapy, in my practice, involves nature connection, attuning to your body and the wilderness within you, and deconstructing and decolonizing internalized frameworks that are causing harm to yourself, other human and non-human beings, and the land.
Examples of this are guided imagery, sensory exercises, nature-based art, nature-walks, examining perceptions of time and productivity, and other various nature/body connection experiences and explorations. My other therapeutic modalities are also available within this space, where your trauma, transition, and other mental health concerns are held and honored. You are in control of what we do and don’t do in sessions. All exercises will be tailored to the individual or group.
In this work, nature is not “used” for our benefit, but rather, joined in mutual support and partnership. We are nature and are a part of nature. This work helps dismantle the white supremist colonized mindset of separation and domination of all things.
Perinatal and Maternal Therapy
I have special interest in working with individuals and families experiencing distress during pregnancy, postpartum, and in parenting. Pregnancy and birth bring about huge changes, both in one’s body and in the lives of those involved in the process. Most of us do not have access to the kind of support that we need to truly thrive during this time. The perinatal experience can aggravate stress and distress that you were already struggling with or have struggled with in your past. You may find yourself struggling in a way that is new, foreign, and frightening. For those who have settled more into the adjustments of parenthood, there are still immense challenges in parenting, exacerbated in these past few years. I can help you navigate these experiences, redefine yourself, and feel at home in your body and with your child/ren.
Children and Adolescents
I have a special kind of love for my work with children and adolescents. These stages of life can be especially joyful and especially difficult. My approaches vary depending on the age I’m working with and the individual personality and preferences. Since children express, process, and learn primarily through play, play therapy is the most effective in improving emotional and psychological health. I also find it very important to incorporate primary caregivers and support networks in the therapeutic process. Adolescents are transitioning from childhood to adulthood, from communicating through play to more verbal communication. While I believe that communicating through play and art continue to be important throughout the lifespan, I typically integrate the two to varying degrees with this population.
