Green Bird Nature Therapy

Green Bird Nature Therapy Psychotherapy for adults, informed by mindfulness and the healing power of nature.

I offer psychotherapy from a wellness perspective, focusing on the mind-body connection and how it can be utilized to create a sense of inner peace and outer equilibrium. I specialize in treating grief, loss, anxiety, depression, and issues of midlife. I also offer mindfulness workshops, silent hikes, and custom-designed, private rituals for life transitions such as divorce and job change.

Last week, I taught a workshop in nature therapy for other therapists. At the close of our day together, we created this lovely (and impermanent) work of Earth art. 💚

A shining example of a community effort to preserve a woodland behind a hospital. They're offering forest bathing and mindfulness walks there. Wonderful!

You Are Nature

There is a reason why walking amongst nature is most people’s best advice when depression strikes.
Because walking in nature is a return to ‘home’.
You are not a lover of nature, or a fan of nature, you ‘are’ nature.
You are as much nature as the trees in your garden and the bees on your picnic.
You were designed to live your days out in the wild with your fellow creatures and plants but progress, humanity, had different plans for us all.
And so we exist day-to-day, in our homes, but never ‘home’.
The quickest route back to self, to inner peace, is bare feet on grass, arms around trees, head in the clouds and heart in a forest.
Put your bones in water, whenever you can, smell each flower you see and crumble dirt between your tired-of-typing fingers.
You are nature, go home once in a while.
It will bring you much you didn’t even know you were missing.

Mindfulness-based counseling and nature therapy

I offer psychotherapy from a wellness perspective, focusing on the mind-body connection and how it can be utilized to create a sense of inner peace and outer equilibrium. I specialize in treating grief, loss, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I also offer mindfulness workshops, Silent Hikes, and custom-designed, private rituals for life transitions such as divorce and job change. As a certified ecotherapist, I often take clients into the woods so we can draw upon the healing energies of nature, and renew our fundamental connection with the “more-than-human” world.
