Hi there! I’m Jess (she/her), and my work is rooted in the power of relationship and earth-based wisdom. I believe that you are inherently whole, carrying your own truth—and that the therapeutic relationship can foster the courage and care it takes to get closer to that truth. I am guided by relationship with the wilderness, both within us and around us. Through listening, embodied awareness, and relational support, we will attune to what emerges through connection to one another, to self, and to the living world around us. I recently completed my Master’s in the Wilderness Therapy program at Naropa University and my internship at the Somatic Nature Therapy Institute. I draw from Gestalt, Existential, Somatic, and Nature-based modalities to be with what is here and now—and to tend to what is calling for attention. My approach welcomes raw expression, play, and present-moment exploration. For those who are interested, I integrate ancestral skills such as hunting, storytelling, hide tanning, and fire-making—not just as tools, but as living metaphors for intuition and remembering who we are. I believe deeply in the power of ceremony and ritual. If desired, I offer this for clients who are curious or who already hold an established practice in their lives. If you are drawn to a therapeutic journey that embraces your authenticity, the natural world, or the wisdom of ancestral ways, I invite you to reach out.
