Walk and Talk
Therapy for Individuals
I use the power of nature and movement, along with different therapeutic approaches, to help clients find their own intentions, resources and strengths.
At my practice, I welcome all individuals and clients, regardless of, and in celebration of, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, immigration status, religious affiliation, relationship expression.
Trail Talk = Walk and Talk
Maybe you've noticed it yourself: you think more clearly when you're moving. A hard conversation feels less stuck when you're not sitting across a desk from someone. That's the idea behind "Trail Talk": we meet for walk and talk therapy on a trail in the Presidio, Golden Gate Park, Ocean Beach, or the El Dorado Trail. No couch, no clock on the wall, just you, me, and whatever's on your mind. Sometimes it’s the foggy mornings that actually help clear the mental fog!
Trail Talk is a unique way of experiencing therapy, combining the benefits of individual talk therapy and the healing impact of nature and movement. I meet with clients on local trails, where we walk and talk while joined sometimes by sounds of birds, winds, or rain.
While participating in Trail Talk, you set the pace. So there are days when the walking is brisk and the talking is lively; and days when the walking is a stroll and the talk is relaxed.
Exercise has been proven to positively impact symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. Movement of any form can increase mood and encourage self-reflection and empowerment.
Trail Talk is good for you physically, and mentally. Read more about Trail Talk on my blog.
