Why Walk and Talk?

Stepping into fresh air and natural light immediately lowers cortisol, moves your body out of fight-or-flight, and places your mind into an open state of creative clarity.

The rhythmic, forward cadence of walking stimulates both hemispheres of the brain. This naturally accelerates strategic problem-solving and allows challenging life transitions or deep decisions to untangle organically.

A Shared Horizon
Instead of eye-to-eye clinical pressure, we look forward at the path ahead. This collaborative, side-by-side positioning creates a safe, deeply supportive container to process transitions honestly, whether we are on the exact same physical path or walking "together" miles apart over the phone.
About Me
BOTH SIDES OF THE CHAIR
As a Doctor of Psychology, I’ve spent years on both sides of the chair—as the therapist guiding the breakthrough, and as the human doing my own deep work in therapy. But my greatest personal realizations never happened staring at an office wall. They happened when I stepped outside.
I am deeply connected to nature and movement, and the science backs up what my gut always knew: when we step into the fresh air and walk side-by-side, our neurology shifts. The rhythmic cadence of walking stimulates a different part of the brain—unlocking creative problem-solving, lowering stress hormones, and allowing challenging life experiences, trauma, or major decisions to untangle naturally.
I founded Stride & Thrive Coaching to combine the two things I love most: the healing, grounding power of being outdoors and moving next to someone, and the privilege of helping you move through transitions to actively stride into a life where you thrive.
