We may be a good fit if…
You move through life feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or constantly “on.”
You’re used to holding it all together, even when it feels heavy inside.
You’re highly sensitive, intuitive, or experience the world deeply.
Your mind moves quickly, your body holds tension, or your system feels overstimulated.
You’re navigating ADHD, autism, or a way of thinking and feeling that doesn’t quite fit the mold.
You’re seeking something more than problem-solving—you’re seeking a deeper sense of ease.
You long for a space where you can exhale… and be fully yourself.
Types of Therapy
TALK THERAPY
This is what most people picture when they think of traditional therapy — a safe, supportive space to sit down, talk openly, and process life together. While there may not literally be a couch involved, the heart of the work is conversation, connection, and feeling truly heard.
In our sessions, we explore what’s going on beneath the surface: stress, anxiety, relationships, overwhelm, life transitions, trauma, self-worth, identity, or simply the feeling of “something isn’t right.” Together, we slow things down enough to understand your patterns, emotions, nervous system responses, and inner world with more clarity and compassion.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply person-centered. I believe healing happens when people feel emotionally safe, accepted, and genuinely seen — not judged or “fixed.” I’m here to simply be a supportive listener, or to offer insight, coping tools, nervous system regulation skills, mindfulness practices, and deeper therapeutic exploration depending on what you need.
We may laugh, we may cry, we may sit with hard things — but therapy does not have to feel heavy all the time. Sometimes healing also looks like feeling understood, finding relief, reconnecting with yourself, and learning how to move through life with a little more ease and self-compassion.
WALK & TALK
Walk & Talk Therapy offers the benefits of traditional therapy in a more natural, relaxed setting. Instead of sitting in an office, we meet outdoors and walk side-by-side while talking through whatever is on your mind.
For many people, movement and nature help conversations flow more easily. Walking can reduce pressure, calm the nervous system, and create space to process thoughts and emotions in a grounded, organic way. Some clients find it easier to open up while moving, while others simply enjoy being outside rather than sitting in a therapy room.
Sessions may include processing stress, anxiety, relationships, life transitions, overwhelm, trauma, or everyday emotional challenges — just like traditional talk therapy. We can walk in silence at times, pause when needed, or simply move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
This approach can be especially supportive for clients who feel restless in traditional settings, feel deeply connected to nature, or want therapy to feel a little more human and less clinical.
You do not need to be athletic or “good at hiking.” These sessions are gentle, conversational walks focused on emotional wellness, presence, and connection.
SOMATIC THERAPY
Somatic Therapy is a type of therapy that helps you understand not just your thoughts and emotions, but also what your body is trying to communicate.
Stress, anxiety, trauma, or big emotions don’t just live in our minds. They show up in our bodies too. You might notice things like a tight chest, stomach aches, feeling shaky, zoning out, wanting to escape, trouble relaxing, or always feeling “on edge” without fully knowing why. Somatic therapy helps you learn how to notice those signals and respond to them with more awareness and care.
In sessions, we may slow down and pay attention to things like breathing, tension, posture, movement, emotions, or sensations in the body. This does not mean intense workouts or anything scary. Often it looks very simple: grounding exercises, mindfulness, movement, stretching, noticing physical sensations, or learning ways to help your nervous system feel calmer and safer.
The goal is not to force emotions away, but to help your mind and body feel more connected and regulated. When your nervous system feels safer, it becomes easier to think clearly, handle emotions, build confidence, and feel more like yourself again.
