Welcome to Down To Earth Therapy

​

I chose this name for my site because my approach to therapy is down to earth. Both in the sense of being grounded, welcoming, straight forward, practical and present.  And also because I believe that without our connection to earth and all its beings we suffer.

I look at what is in front of me and then I work with what is happening in the moment - in other words a mindful and present awareness. What gives me strength, encouragement and energy to take on each day is my love and deep connection with nature, in all its forms. The breathtaking view of a mountain or the never ending ocean gives me peace and joy just as much as observing a busy ant hurrying along, witnessing a majestic hawk flying overhead or hugging a dog.

I bring this simplicity and down-to-earth presence into the therapy sessions. I believe that mindfulness, self-awareness and a dash of humor can bring much healing to all of us. It takes courage to look at ourselves and be curious about what lies underneath the surface. If you are ready to take that step I will be present by your side as you examine whatever stumbling block is interfering with your journey at the moment. Together we will look at your structures, beliefs, stories and habits. How are they serving you at this time in your life? Or are they getting in the way of your further growth, healthy relationships and life experience?

I immigrated to the United States from Denmark at the age of 25 and, like many immigrants, experienced the feeling of being uprooted and being “other” and not quite belong in one place. I am familiar with the challenge of trying to find a balance between holding on to and be faithful to the old culture while also wanting to embrace the new home.  

​

I provide a non-judgmental and safe space for you to explore, feel, be silent, argue, cry, heal, laugh and tell your story. I believe you already have the wisdom and strength to do the work, we just have to bring it forth to the present moment.
