It’s difficult being human.
Sometimes our lives feel fully in-control. In these times, we’re able to flow, respond, make decisions, and find a general sense of joy in life. Being human, though, means we’re bound to confront challenges from time to time. When this happens we may be able to draw on resources to respond, or we need something extra. Therapy can be thought as that something extra.
To get back to a balanced life or to learn how to cultivate a life that has never truly felt safe or stable, we must explore and move towards areas of perceived discomfort.
Growth comes when we move towards what is uncomfortable.
Imagine the first time you rode a bike, or showed up to a yoga class not knowing any pose. Your first attempt was unlikely to be “perfect.” It took thousands of repetitions to improve any one skill. Emotional regulation, communication, and repatterning belief systems takes time are also skills that take time to cultivate.

How does therapy work?
I offer traditional in-person talk therapy, and telehealth sessions, as well as less traditional approaches such as ski therapy and hiking therapy. The choice is up to you.
Traditional talk therapy begins with you and what you’re struggling with. My job is to elicit insight, build coping skills, offer support, and guide you to a more favorable outcome. I do not give advice but rather act as a compass for your growth and healing.
Nontraditional approaches such as ski therapy use many components of talk therapy, but I use the process of skiing to facilitate insight, healing, and growth. Skiing is a natural form of bilateral stimulation which makes it a natural method for exploring and discharging traumatic memories.
We can meet in my office and engage in a classic therapeutic exchange with the comfort of tea and pillows, or we can get creative, get outside, and harness the natural healing power of nature. Ask me more about what this could look like.
