Therapy That Meets You Where You Are—Even in Your Own Backyard
Therapy doesn’t have to happen in a sterile office—or even on a screen.
Sometimes, the most powerful healing happens in the places where you already feel grounded, safe, and at ease. That’s where flexible trauma therapy options come in.
Whether that’s a cozy home office, a quiet garden, or a sun-drenched porch, my approach to trauma therapy allows us to work with your nervous system—not against it. That includes the option to adapt your therapy intensive or session format to a private outdoor space that feels supportive to you.
What If Therapy Didn’t Feel Like… Therapy?
For many of my clients—brilliant, emotionally intelligent humans who are tired of powering through—creating safety and spaciousness is a key part of healing. That’s why I offer flexible, trauma-focused therapy options that can meet you where you are, literally and emotionally.
Whether you’re booking a one or three day trauma intensive, or a targeted reprocessing session, we can explore different formats based on your preferences and environment.
Here’s what’s possible:
Outdoor or Garden-Based Sessions (when appropriate), adapted to your private space
Virtual Therapy (statewide in Oregon) from your home or outdoor space
In-Person Sessions in my Portland office
Why Environment Matters in Trauma Therapy
Trauma isn’t just stored in your thoughts—it lives in your body and nervous system. And your nervous system responds to environment.
That’s why a calm, familiar, or nature-connected setting can be a powerful ally in therapy.
Whether we’re using EMDR, Brainspotting, ART, or somatic practices, working in a space that already helps your body exhale can:
- Support deeper emotional processing
- Lower baseline anxiety and nervous system reactivity
- Increase your capacity for insight, reflection, and integration
- Make therapy feel less clinical and more you
This is about reclaiming safety in a way that feels organic—not forced.
Flexible Trauma Therapy Options
All services—whether virtual, in-person, or adapted to your garden or outdoor space—are grounded in evidence-based, trauma-focused modalities:
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
- Brainspotting
- Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
- Somatic and mindfulness-based work
Each approach is tailored to your goals and nervous system capacity—not one-size-fits-all. And regardless of where we meet, the focus remains the same: helping you unhook from trauma, reclaim clarity, and reconnect with your body and life.
Who This Approach is For
This flexible, environment-sensitive approach may be right for you if:
- You’re craving therapy that feels personal, intuitive, and grounded
- You want the option to do deep work outside traditional settings
- You have a private space outdoors that helps you feel safe
- You’re ready for focused work—but need options that fit your life
You don’t need a manicured garden or a perfect setup—just a space where your system feels calmer. We’ll decide together if this format supports your goals.
