Ecotherapy: Therapy for the Therapist

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”

—Henry David Thoreau

“I decided to add a page to my site sharing my pictures and some of the insights I gain from nature. Some may find these things helpful or thought-provoking; some might just like the pretty pictures. Either way, it is an opportunity for me to share my joy of nature as well as how nature is part of the balance of my life.”

One of my favorite parks in Florida is Fort Desoto, a Pinellas county park which is located near Tampa, Florida. I took this photo at sunset on Shell Island, which is a part of the park that is only accessible by boat. This park has everything I love in an escape — lots of water, plenty of wildlife, gorgeous sunsets and has very poor mobile service. As much as being connected is important, I think being disconnected from the electronic world is also very healthy. Being able to connect with life in a simple and basic sense life helps me relax and focus on my priorities.
