The land knows you even when you are lost. ~ Robin Wall Kimmerer
Experience the freedom to explore, express, and evolve in an atmosphere of genuine understanding and compassion.
Ecotherapy focuses on nature’s healing power through purposeful interactions with place – the natural landscapes, animals, birds, seasons, and unseen places all around us. The field of nature-based therapies can include: therapeutic horticulture, walk and talk, animal-assisted services, facilitated green exercise, restorative environments, wilderness therapy and care farming.
I provide embodied opportunities for individuals to explore their relationship with nature (and themselves) through active engagement with the outdoors. Where traditional psychotherapy offers a safe place for deep and transformational work, the natural world also shows up for us in times of need and clarity. As an important practice in an ever-fast world, it can provide stress reduction, the easing of symptoms related to depression and anxiety, and other physical pains and illness.
I meet with clients, on-site, at the following locations:
- Spring Lake/Lake Desire in Renton, WA.
- Lake Wilderness Arboretum in Maple Valley, WA.
- Lake Sawyer Park in Black Diamond, WA.
- Lake Sammamish State Park in Issaquah, WA.

Sliding Scale: I am committed to making therapy accessible to all, regardless of their financial situation. In order to maintain this commitment, I offer a reduced fee to those referred to me by a network of established providers or through Open Path Collective. These services are primarily provided to individuals who have been historically or institutionally restricted from accessing equitable healthcare.
All gender identities, ethnicities, religions, relationship structures, and sexual orientations are welcome here, and I affirm the intricate layers of identity alive in each individual’s experience.
