I provide formal assessments and tailored therapy to help you regain your edge. My work includes equine-assisted therapy, using the mind-body connection in non-traditional settings to build self-esteem, reduce anxiety, and develop healthy boundaries. In the office, I use a collaborative approach integrating CBT, ACT, DBT, and EMDR. For athletes—including equestrians, gymnasts, and lacrosse players—I use EMDR to help you move past injuries, calm nerves, and sharpen performance. Whether in the office or with horses, my goal is to help you rebuild resilience and find joy in your daily life again.
Horses are masters of reflecting our internal state. In our equine-assisted therapy sessions, we use this natural feedback to bridge the mind-body connection. By working in a non-traditional setting, self-esteem and healthy boundaries through real-time interaction can be built. It’s a sensory, active process that turns insights into lasting habits.
Kids and teens love my bright playroom; teens say I 'just get it;' adults tell me they finally feel seen without judgment. Whether you’re stuck in worry, or sport has become pressure instead of happiness—I’m here to help you feel lighter and more like yourself again. When not in session, you’ll find me on horseback or lost in a novel!
