If you’ve ever thought, “Spending time with animals is more fulfilling than spending time with people,” you’re in the right place. I combine equine-assisted therapy and traditional talk therapy, creating a unique and powerful path to healing. Specializing in anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma, I tailor sessions using trauma-informed care and mindfulness. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, helping you build confidence, emotional strength, and lasting change. Together, we’ll uncover strengths, develop coping skills, and work toward clarity, balance, and healing.
In addition to Brainspotting, Mindfulness, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), I offer equine-assisted psychotherapy, where horses act as compassionate partners in your healing journey. This hands-on, experiential approach fosters self-awareness, resilience, and growth, all within a supportive and nurturing space.
I recognize that everyone’s needs are unique, which is why we offer flexible therapy options beyond traditional in-office settings. Whether in the office, with horses, or just sitting outside on a beautiful day, my goal remains the same—providing a safe and supportive space to process emotions, build confidence, and develop lasting coping skills.
