Being outdoors is so helpful to our nature, to our very selves.
This is how we will work - We will begin wherever you feel is a start point and adjust from there. We will start with 50 minute sessions, weekly or bi-weekly, developing the therapeutic relationship. Therapy is a process. You may feel checking in monthly works for you. You may feel weekly or bi-weekly is best. Consistency builds trust, relationship and stability. Together we will work through what is best for you.
Using the lens of trauma - informed relational psychotherapy, we will explore your important attachment relationships, social, cultural, and other contributors to your development. How we relate will be a therapeutic adventure, taking us to places in your heart and mind you may never have had the safety and security to explore.
“Imagination is absolutely critical to the quality of our lives. Imagination gives us the opportunity to envision new possibilities—it is an essential launchpad for making our hopes come true ... Without imagination there is no hope, no chance to envision a better future, no place to go, no goal to reach.”
— Bessel van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score
