Would you like to experience more joy in your life and relationships? I can help you get unstuck, stop living from fear, learn how to trust again, regain or improve your self-esteem, and simply work on feeling better. I offer sessions in the more-than-human world, out in the fresh air, supported by nature in a private space and/or in the wonderful healing presence of horses. SpiritedScience® programs offer solace in the spirit(s) of nature and are especially appropriate for those who may not thrive in a conventional psychotherapy setting. I also offer virtual sessions for those who cannot or prefer not to travel to the farm.
I am a transpersonal mental health counselor, hypnotherapist, teacher, & life coach dedicated to helping my clients develop the skills and understanding to improve their relationships with self and others. I work with clients from a trauma-informed perspective. I specialize in nature-based and equine-assisted psychotherapy for teens, adults, and couples.
You can experience personal growth after acute, chronic, or complex trauma. I can guide you through the integration of the physical, mental, emotional, & spiritual aspects of Self that is necessary to be whole, assist you in making meaning out of tragedy or abuse, foster resilience, & hold a safe space for you while we work together to heal your soul loss.

I promise to support you and do my very best to understand you and repeating patterns, as well as to help you clarify what it is that you want for yourself. While the outcome of treatment depends largely on your willingness to engage in the process, we can work together to clear your old trauma patterns & learn new behaviors that will move you toward healthy connection.

In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. I utilize many different modalities and methods from a trauma-informed and attachment-based perspective. I can help you bring subconscious behaviors to conscious awareness so that you can live an integrated, authentic life in alignment with your core values.
