    A NatureMind™ Experience

     Healing That Moves — Therapy and Coaching in Motion

    Whether you’re navigating betrayal trauma, burnout, or emotional dysregulation, sometimes the most powerful insights don’t happen while sitting still. Walk + Talk Sessions are part of my NatureMind™ model—a trademarked experience that blends movement, mindfulness, and grounded emotional work in natural environments.

    Walk + Talk is available to both therapy and coaching clients, and it’s tailored to your goals—whether that’s healing trauma or building emotional mastery.

    What Is NatureMind™?

    NatureMind™ is my signature approach to integrating the body and mind through motion. It’s grounded in:

    • Neuroscience (especially the calming effects of bilateral movement)
       
    • Mindfulness (attention training, emotional attunement, sensory grounding)
       
    • Trauma-Informed Practice (for therapy clients)
       
    • Emotional Regulation Coaching (for high-functioning adults seeking performance clarity, resilience, and growth)
       

    Whether you’re recovering, rebuilding, or rising, NatureMind™ meets you where you are—outside.

    For Therapy Clients

    • Support for betrayal trauma, anxiety, grief, or burnout
       
    • EMDR-informed techniques such as container exercises, grounding, or bilateral stimulation
       
    • Held outdoors in serene, low-traffic walking spaces for discretion and peace
       
    • Ideal for those who process emotions more easily while in motion
       

    For Emotional Regulation Coaching Clients

    • Learn to downshift stress and upshift clarity in real time
       
    • Receive real-world coaching on managing triggers, staying present, and shifting internal states
       
    • Work through challenges related to emotional pain, overthinking, or dysregulation in leadership roles
       
    • Perfect for high-achieving adults, caregivers, and professionals who need non-clinical tools to stay grounded under pressure

    Healing Trauma with EMDR: Insights from Prince Harry

     In this candid interview, Prince Harry shares his personal journey with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, shedding light on its effectiveness in addressing trauma and anxiety. His openness brings attention to the transformative power of EMDR in processing distressing memories and fostering emotional resilience. As a trauma-informed therapist with over two decades of experience, I offer EMDR therapy to individuals seeking to overcome the lingering effects of traumatic experiences. If you're ready to embark on a path toward healing and emotional freedom, I invite you to schedule a confidential consultation. Private pay clients are welcome, with both in-person and virtual sessions available. 

    The Long-Term Impact of Trauma on Your Health

     Trauma isn’t just emotional—it can change your brain, your body, and your ability to thrive. In this TED Talk, pediatrician and public health advocate Dr. Nadine Burke Harris breaks down the science behind Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and their lifelong impact on mental and physical health. If you've experienced anxiety, chronic stress, or feel like you're carrying emotional weight you can’t explain, trauma-informed therapy may be the missing link. I specialize in working with adults and couples to help them heal, reconnect, and break free from patterns that trauma creates. Let’s begin your healing journey. Private pay clients welcome—virtual and in-person appointments available. 

    The Authentic Brain

    Healing After Betrayal

    Does Your Family History Influence How You Handle Infidelity?

     

    If you’ve been betrayed, the pain can feel bigger than the moment. It can be tangled up with old wounds, past patterns, and even your family’s way of coping with hurt. Science tells us that betrayal activates the same parts of the brain as physical pain, and early experiences, even those from previous generations, can shape how your nervous system responds.


    Whether you’re the one who cheated, the one who was betrayed, or both, betrayal does not have to define you. With the right support, you can rewire the brain’s stress responses, untangle the pain, and move forward with clarity, strength, and hope.

    How Divorce Affects Your Brain

    Divorce isn’t just an emotional event—it’s a neurological one. It rewires how you think, feel, sleep, and even how you see yourself. Most people are caught off guard by how stuck they feel. And no one really explains why.

    But I do.

    Rachel Ruby interviewed me for her podcast, Divorce to Bliss, and in this episode, I walk you through exactly what happens in the brain during the trauma of divorce—and more importantly, how to start healing from it. I combine 24 years of clinical experience with real neuroscience to help you make sense of the emotional fog and finally start feeling like you again.

    This isn’t about venting. It’s about understanding. It’s about reclaiming control over your mind, your healing, and your future.

    If you’ve been functioning—but not fully living—I made this video for you.

    Watch the interview. Then reach out. I help people rebuild their lives from the inside out—starting with the brain.

    Therapy Is Treatment – Not Just Talking

    Therapy isn’t just a conversation—it’s clinical treatment for emotional wounds. Whether you’re recovering from trauma, betrayal, or long-term stress, therapy offers a structured path to healing using evidence-based tools.

    As a licensed therapist, I provide trauma-informed care, with deep experience helping adults—including survivors of sexual trauma—heal safely and effectively.

    Here’s what therapy really means:

    • Therapy addresses mental health conditions and trauma
      Anxiety, depression, PTSD, and the emotional effects of infidelity or sexual trauma are real conditions that require skilled treatment—not surface-level advice.
       
    • Therapy is led by a licensed mental health professional
      As a licensed clinician with 24+ years of experience, I am trained to assess, diagnose, and treat emotional pain using professional, state-regulated methods.
       
    • Therapy uses evidence-based treatments like EMDR
      I specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a powerful treatment for trauma. It helps clients gently process past pain and regain emotional control—especially valuable for adult survivors of sexual trauma and couples healing from infidelity.

     Coaching uses a proven framework
    For instance, My Infidelity Recovery Workbook for Couples is the foundation of our infidelity coaching work. Each session follows a structured process, helping couples stay focused, not flooded
