Following her heart, she has been led to co-create and guide rites of passage, educational, and adventure wilderness programs for 25 years. She also gives back to the community as a licensed psychotherapist currently as the founder of The Center for Nature Based Therapy, and supervisor of two local school-based counseling programs. She loves yoga, meditation, traveling, dancing, and drumming. The greatest joy and spiritual teacher in her life is the journey of motherhood with her son Sage.


Our Offerings


Our Vision

Center for Nature Based Therapy envisions helping people to be deeply connected to themselves, to their community, and to the natural environment by immersing them in the healing beauty of the wild, by deeply listening to their story, and by cultivating transformational practices from within this rooted connection to nature. Through this work, our clinicians seek to weave a tapestry of vibrant, passionate healers and change makers in order to awaken the collective consciousness and to remember:

We are nature. We are free. We are love.

Our Mission

The Center for Nature Based Therapy’s mission is to work with change makers and motivated individuals who seek to manifest abundance and live a life of service that is generated from a deep remembering that we are nature, and not separate from it. We provide therapy and coaching services to support the healing journey and cultivate life affirming practices that are rooted in nature's deep wisdom.
