In 2011, I took a leave of absence from graduate school to hike 700 glorious miles of the Appalachian Trail. Hiking the AT gave me a firsthand experience of nature’s healing potential for mind, body, and soul. Thus began my lifelong fascination with pathways, detours, and the journey experience. In 2021, I became a certified ecotherapist with the Earthbody Institute. I’m a big fan of Joseph Campbell’s “the hero’s journey,” and I believe we are all on a journey to become the hero of our own story. As a therapist and fellow traveler, I love helping my clients unlock their unique resilience and resourcefulness in facing life’s challenges and actualizing their highest goals. Nature, mindfulness, and creativity are three core values and pillars of wellness that I’m proud to stand by in my counseling practice. Every client receives a unique blend of these three ingredients based on their needs and goals. Are you are ready to learn new mind-body skills to achieve your highest personal and professional goals? If so, let’s go!
