1:1 Ecological Companioning | Symbiont Work
is a relational, emergent process that draws on ecological intelligence, mutualism, co-regulation, attuned witnessing.
1:1 work mirrors dyads in nature: two beings forming a temporary, attuned, mutually space of exchange, and exploration. As mammals navigating shifting seasons of life, shedding old skins, renewal, aging, change, and migrating through diverse physical and psychological landscapes. Living is about compost and decay as much as it is about growth and becoming.
In this space, we diversify and expand ideas of “fixing” and shift instead toward relating, and being-with, following scent trails of what wants to move, settle, or emerge. We learn to be with whatever rises to the surface, trusting the organism’s inherent wisdom.
Ecological companioning is not therapy. I do not diagnosis, treat, intervene, process complex trauma, fix, or advise. What is offered is a corridor: a place for ecologizing the psyche and exploring inner terrain (and subterranean worlds) it moves through. Together we attune to thresholds, listen for signals of inner and outer ecologies, and tend what is composting, gestating, dissolving, or calling for air and movement. Learning with the natural world and how it teaches exchange and expression — in how we too can molt, erupt, and change internal landscapes.
This work supports transitions, composting phases, migrations, initiations, or can also be a place to rest, breathe, and reorient within the vast web of life.
With a background (M.A) in ecological psychology and training as a future LPC, my 1:1 Symbiont sessions offer a grounded, ethical, and nature-informed coaching container; grounded on the understanding that humans are not isolated organisms but relational beings embedded within living systems. The more we understand the natural world, the better we might understand or completely revision ourselves.
Exploring ecological principles such as mutualism, co-regulation, and nested systems, hlep us explore how internal patterns, emotional states, and relational habits emerge from (and can be reshaped through) the environments we inhabit. Where body, meaning, and ecology entangle we can learn to cultivate practices of connection, increasing capacity, and supporting a more relational and organismic sense of self.
This is not clinical mental health treatment, but a collaborative process of ecological meaning-making and embodied awareness; offered with clarity, respect, and care.
1:1 with the many unseen others…
-

there are no individuals
exploring the myth of separateness; embracing our entangled existence.
we explore how nothing survives alone. we are surrounded and shaped by seen and unseen organisms, ideas and exchanges.
bringing to light the bedrock of our beingness. what is curiously known in ecological fields as “parent material”. these are the foundational ideas we hold about our lives and often determine how we live and who we feel we are/percieve the world. these days can be inherited, generational, even unconscious ideas we shed light on and excavate.
-

narrative excavation
uncovering the stories that shape us, the narratives we live by, sometimes protect, consciously and unconsciously— learning to compost stagnant soil; rewriting with intention and ecological embeddedness.
what is going on in our soil? what are the toxins? who are the helpers? are ideas living us or are we living ideas?
-

becoming an ecosystem
renewed ideas, sensations and ecopsychological flourishing. shifting from a ‘self-improvement’ lens; seeing oneself as a dynamic, interdependent being. relating to metamorphoses; that it is often through discomfort and struggle that helps us find perhaps even entirely new forms.
companioned by the 5 guides of ecopsychology looking at energy, diversity , decay and renewal, change, and relationship.
