When I think about therapy, I envision an individual carrying a little too much for a little too long, just seeking a little relief; someone to help them carry it all. I'd love to be that person for you. I enjoy working with those who are seeking healing from challenging/codependent relationships, trauma, navigating grief and loss, depression and anxiety, and/or simply have a desire to be in therapeutic contact with a supportive individual. As Ram Dass says, at the end of the day we are all just walking each other home. Let's help you return to "home", and find what peace looks like for you.
I am an EMDR and brainspotting-trained, animal-assisted, trauma-informed therapist that utilizes a variety of approaches to co-create goals that feel supportive and nurturing to you. Our ranch is home to many incredible animals, that serve as co-therapists in your healing space. Sessions are creative, flexible, and ever-changing.
I am currently on a small waitlist for adult clients that are motivated and ready to engage in therapy. I offer a range of treatment options to meet your needs. I offer in-person and virtual sessions. I so look forward to chatting with you about taking this powerful next step towards finding the support you seek- email me today to get started!

Therapy is a dance between nervous systems. Magic can be accessed when we let your nervous system lead the way, and illuminate our path on a moment-to-moment basis. My north star modalities include animal/equine-assisted therapy, internal family systems (parts work), somatic experiencing, and trauma-focused/EMDR/Brainspotting, utilizing your innate wisdom to guide our process.
