Who I Am
I designed the trees&breathe journaling method to offer you a unique path to clarity. Through nature-inspired mindfulness and effective writing techniques, the sessions and workshops help you uncover the truths of your thoughts. This opens the door to a clearer mind, stronger decisions, and a deeper sense of well-being.
With degrees in Social Work and Applied Language Studies (Writing), plus certifications in yoga and forest bathing, I created this multi-layered approach to journaling to foster self-discovery and emotional clarity.
With 25 years as a social worker, 10 as a university writing instructor, and the author of two books, I have been passionate about guiding others in clarifying their thoughts through writing. My goal at trees&breathe is to help you slow down, listen inward, and discover what’s ready to be seen.
What I Offer
I guide clouded minds
find their way through
a deep forest of thoughts.
In every trees&breathe session, your mind and body will relax as you follow my guidelines to immerse in the moment. This will allow you to:
uncover deep thoughts through writing.
create space for new clarity to emerge.
make decisions that nourish rather than stress.
Every guided journaling session is a personal, private journey that guides you to where you truly want to be.
Your wellness is at the heart of what I do.
The trees&breathe method is grounded in these proven wellness strategies:
1. Writing methods that provide a safe space to dig into your thoughts and privately release them on paper. As you experience the powerful relationship between writing and thinking, you discover what you really need to know and start seeing your life through a clearer mind.
2. Mindfulness tools to help you stay focused on the present - what is happening right now - without judgment or analysis. This releases the need to worry about the past or the future and creates an opening for peace and truth to emerge.
3. Nature prompts to ease you into a calm state and gain a sense of perspective and strength. This can help to view your life situations in a more manageable way.
