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.
