Exactly why I do what I do at soundmindsoundbodytherapy.com

Mental health practitioners are hiking, camping and braving the elements with their clients — all in an effort to help them connect with the Earth, and with themselves.

Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous
to be understood.

How grass can be nourishing in the
mouths of the lambs.
How rivers and stones are forever
in allegiance with gravity
while we ourselves dream of rising.
How two hands touch and the bonds will
never be broken.
How people come, from delight or the
scars of damage,
to the comfort of a poem.

Let me keep my distance, always, from those
who think they have the answers.

Let me keep company always with those who say
“Look!” and laugh in astonishment,
and bow their heads. ~Mary Oliver

This is why so many of my clients enjoy walk and talk therapy. It's so healing for mind,body, and soul. I love that I can offer both in-person or remote nature therapy sessions (yes! remote! we both walk in nature as we talk on phone/video).

A new study published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry offers evidence that a simple walk through nature can lower activity in stress-related brain regions. The experiment revealed that participants who walked for an hour in a forest showed decreased amygdala activity during a stress task, while....

Conceirge holistic psychotherapy has never been easier thanks to Spruce Health. My sessions with clients extend beyond their 60 min session by offering text HIPAA secure messaging support as
well as detailed session summaries texted directly to my clients. Therapy with me is a partnership with each client and spruce allows for the therapeutic process to be fluid and supportive. Adding this extra support in between sessions allows for outstanding outcomes. Clients begin to feel better faster and every single client raves about this extra personal support in between sessions. Spruce health has provided the technology that helps my practice stand out.
