This form of therapy is based on the idea that we are impacted by and connected with the natural world. “Ecotherapy” is an umbrella term for a variety of nature based therapies. My current approach based on my office’s location includes Walk and Talk therapy or talk therapy outdoors (seated in a private, comfortable area outside). Please be aware that sessions will not be conducted if there is ice/snow or if temperatures are above 85 degrees.

This type of therapy harnesses our ability as humans to create and imagine by using different forms of artistic expression.

In my current practice, I utilize visual arts and writing as alternative expressive strategies. I hope, in the future, to be able to provide additional creative approaches so keep an eye out on this section!
