☯︎ free community counseling ☯︎
guided relationship coaching
methods: conversations in nature, art, tea,
psychedelic integration, IFS (internal family systems theory), Gottman method, creative nature writing
Community counseling is meant to help address our national mental health crisis, as well as the shortcomings of traditional therapy like lack of access, unaffordability, individualization of systemic problems; and the clinical office setting that often doesn’t align well with art, nature, and psychedelic therapy.
Let’s go for a nature walk or sit and get cozy and discuss relationships, dreams, life and death & the universe

areas of focus - psychedelic therapy, non-violent communication, terror management theory (death counseling), Gottman method, attachment theory, internal family systems theory, ecotherapy, nature writing, yoga, taoism, buddhism, absurdism
My greatest passion is relationships, both human and non-human. I’ve researched and practiced modern theories regarding non-violent communication, the Gottman method, psychedelic therapy, and attachment wounding. Through creating the Do Nothing Society project I have spent untold hours talking with and holding space for members of our community — discussing abuse, addiction, love, grief, and dreams for the future. I would love to hold space for you!
In the near future I would also like to offer small group sessions as well, please let me know if you’re interested! My overarching dream is to create a big community house with eco-therapy, art therapy, and community dinners. I am offering individual sessions as a way to raise funds for greatly needed projects and increase awareness for this unmet need in our community.

if you’d like to help support the project let me know (that’d be great, random rich person reading this) but I’m trying to make this just plain free as long as I can :) holding space is a sacred thing outside of capitalism.
