Healing doesn’t only happen in an office — sometimes it happens best outdoors. Nature-based therapy integrates the natural environment into your therapeutic journey to support mindfulness, grounding, and emotional processing. These sessions can take many forms, including walking, hiking, kayaking, or indoor rock climbing, depending on your goals.

Sessions typically start from my office or at local natural spaces like Turkey Mountain, providing flexibility and variety to meet you where you feel most comfortable. Every session is tailored to your unique needs, combining evidence-based therapeutic approaches — including EMDR when appropriate — with experiential engagement in nature.

Clients often report unexpected benefits from these sessions, including clearer recall of therapeutic work, feeling less distressed, being more at ease, and experiencing less discomfort than in traditional therapy settings. Drawing on ecotherapy-informed principles, this work encourages connection to the natural world as a source of calm, insight, and resilience, while supporting the processing of trauma and the discovery of personal strengths.

Whether you are navigating stress, trauma, or life transitions, nature-based therapy offers an alternative pathway to healing that integrates mind, body, and environment.
