Reconnect to your Self by Reconnecting to the Natural World
Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected-from yourself, from others, or from life? Nature-informed therapy offers a path back to balance and belonging, rooted in the healing rhythms of the earth.
In today's fast-paced, screen-heavy world, we often forget that we are nature. Our nervous systems are wired to respond to the calm of a forest, the steadiness of a mountain, the flow of a stream. Nature-informed therapy invites you to step out of the noise and into an environment that supports healing from the inside out.
What Is Nature-Informed Therapy?
Nature-informed therapy integrates traditional psychotherapy approaches (like EMDR, IFS, somatic therapy, and mindfulness) with the wisdom and grounding presence of the natural world. Whether sessions are held outdoors (eco-therapy), indoors with nature as metaphor and guide, or through nature-based imagery and storytelling, the aim is the same: to restore connection, regulate your nervous system, and uncover your innate resilience.
How Nature Supports Mental Health
Research shows that time in nature can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress while improving focus, emotional regulation, and a sense of meaning. Nature-informed therapy helps you:
- Ground yourself in the present moment
- Regulate stress and overwhelm
- Release patterns that no longer serve
- Cultivate clarity and inner calm
- Rebuild trust in your body, mind, and inner wisdom
- Navigate transitions and loss with greater ease
Who Is Nature-Informed Therapy For?
Nature-based therapy may be especially helpful if you:
- Feel anxious, burned out, or disconnected
- Struggle with life transitions, grief, or trauma
- Are highly sensitive or overwhelmed by modern life
- Crave deeper connection-to yourself, others, or the world around you
- Want a more holistic, body-mind-spirit approach to healing
You don't need to be an "outdoorsy" person to benefit-just willing to approach therapy with openness and curiosity.
Nature-Informed, Trauma-Aware
As a trauma-informed therapist, I create a safe, grounded, and inclusive space-whether we're indoors or outside. I honor each person's pace, boundaries, and lived experience. Nature is never forced, but gently woven into the process to support whatever healing is ready to emerge.
How Sessions Work
Nature-informed therapy can be:
- In-person and outdoors (walk-and-talk sessions, sitting in natural spaces, or gentle movement in nature)
- Virtual or indoors with the integration of natural imagery, metaphor, and regulation tools
- Customized to you-some clients blend traditional therapy with seasonal reflections, ritual, or creative nature practices
No two journeys are alike. Together, we'll shape a path that feels safe, supported, and attuned to you.
