Relational health is mental health. We never feel good when in conflict with our partner or family member (or in conflict with our own emotions).

Anxiety, depression, men's issues, trauma symptoms, and feeling stuck in life are areas I often help work through. My approach includes emotional mindfulness, spiritual perspectives, trauma recovery, boundaries, and practical skills for partnership and parenting.

Currently accepting new clients and select insurance plans.
Many of my clients are insightful and self-aware, yet still feel stuck in patterns of overwhelm, emotional fatigue, disconnection, or inner conflict. There may be a history of trauma, chronic stress, relationship challenges, or maladaptive coping patterns that once felt protective but no longer feel sustainable. While insight may be present, it has not yet translated into lasting relief or a felt sense of steadiness. Together, we move beyond understanding alone to foster deeper healing, integration, and meaningful, lasting change through a collaborative, mind-body approach.

The core of the work done here is allowing you to access in real time, instinctual solutions for what ails you. This is done by employing specific activities that all but require the client to become present with their emotional reality. The horse only responds favorably to self-awareness and honesty. When this is achieved, the honesty, vulnerability, and awareness are reinforced via undoubted connection with the horse. Often, this leads to feelings of contentment, confidence, and awareness. These are then applied to both intra and inter-personal relationships when not with the horse.

What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
