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.

Beautiful words about how we can find solace in nature. 💚

When the mind is festering with trouble or the heart torn, we can find healing among the silence of mountains or fields, or listen to the simple, steadying rhythm of waves. The slowness and stillness gradually takes us over. Our breathing deepens and our hearts calm and our hungers relent. When serenity is restored, new perspectives open to us and difficulty can begin to seem like an invitation to new growth.

This invitation to friendship with nature does of course entail a willingness to be alone out there. Yet this aloneness is anything but lonely. Solitude gradually clarifies the heart until a true tranquility is reached. The irony is that at the heart of that aloneness you feel intimately connected with the world. Indeed, the beauty of nature is often the wisest balm for it gently relieves and releases the caged mind.

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.
