Movement for Exploration and Introspection
Whether coasting on a gravel road, weaving through the turns of a new trail, or climbing a familiar ridgeline, movement facilitates an ease of sharing - wordless hearing that cannot be replicated by staying still inside of an office.
Discover Gravel Therapy™
Gravel & Trail
Gravel therapy is a sixty or ninety-minute counseling session with you, the client, and me, the therapist, riding knobby tires on bikes suitable for gravel roads, trails, or both. Sessions blend psychotherapy with skills instruction and coaching to facilitate connection, healing, and growth both on and off the bike. The emphasis and pace of sessions fluctuate with the terrain outside and the weather inside. No matter what your skill level or season of life, gravel therapy creates a shared cadence between you and a therapist committed to mindfully tracking and contacting shifts that give way to new insights, ways of being, and paths of meaning in your life.
Licensed & Certified
As a certified USA Cycling Coach, MTB Level I Instructor, and a seasoned guide, you can expect professional instruction in the fundamentals of cycling and skilled management of the risks. As a licensed clinical mental health counselor in the state of North Carolina, you can trust that the ride itself and our conversation together, will be utilized as a vehicle for connection, healing, and growth.
Psychotherapy
Alongside the contours of the gravel therapy session itself is an underlying intention for therapy and an overlaying plan of care. For this reason, you and I will collaboratively determine a frequency of sessions which support your goals for therapy. More than likely, the rhythm of our work will include shorter sessions inside the office paired with gravel sessions outside. If you have not worked with me before, then I recommend scheduling your first session inside so that I can orient you to psychotherapy, explore the facets of your history that are relevant to our work, and so that we can attend to the task of discerning how working together will support your intentions for future gravel sessions.
