Who I Am
I designed trees&breathe to offer a unique path to clarity through journaling.
Through guided journaling, people often uncover thoughts they didn’t know were there. What begins as simple journaling can lead to surprising insight, emotional clarity, and a deeper understanding of what matters most.
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.
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 to
find their way through
a deep forest of thoughts.
I offer online and in-person guided journaling sessions. In every trees&breathe session, I will guide you to immerse in the moment, allowing your mind and body to relax. This will set you up 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 journaling 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. This strategy allows you to experience the powerful relationship between writing and thinking. You might just 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 helps you to release 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.
Join me in a trees&breathe journaling session to ignite clear thinking.
I will guide you toward greater self-discovery in a private, safe, and supportive environment.
You will be amazed at how easily you release your deep thoughts, leading to a clearer and calmer mind!
