Gentle guidance through your inner landscape
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.” – Rumi
I can be your guide.
Together, we can navigate the challenges you’re facing with kindness and respect. We can discover new possible pathways toward the more peaceful, joyful and satisfying life you long for.
I offer outdoor and online therapy sessions for adults who want relief from suffering and who are ready to grow.

Her connection to the natural world feels woven into her being. She has a beautiful ability to weave another person’s experience into that connection in ways that feel meaningful, grounded, and alive.
Gemma is also deeply relational. She sees and reflects back poignant truths in a way that is gently disarming and easy to receive, yet can create profound shifts in how we understand and relate to ourselves and others. There is a rare combination in her of gentleness, depth, and impact.”
