Why Mobile?

Seeing you in your own living space can help me getting a fuller idea of who you are and what you care for, your hobbies, the way you inhabit your space.

The comfort of your own home

There might be times where we want to use a part of the session for meditation, relaxation and somatic experiencing, hypnosis and visualization exercises. It might be more comfortable for you to do this in your own home.

About "Walk & Talk"

I offer an outdoor consultation modality for clients who prefer an active vs passive consultations style.

Adding the physical activity component to their counseling sessions can work for people who are intimidated by the face-to-face therapy format. Plus, time spent in nature is never lost.

We can go to your favorite trail, or find a walk/hike corresponding to you need and/or level of fitness, as well as with the time we have. There is no pressure to perform. We can also sit in the park, if the weather, and timing permits.
