I hold deep reverence for nature and the healing that happens when we reconnect with it more deeply, allowing for greater connection to ourselves. I believe in the power of shifting back to being a human being instead of a human doing, and the value of slowing down, listening, and approaching life with curious inquiry. By allowing symptoms to be messengers and working to understand them through tenderness and attention, we can shift what may feel like unmanageable difficulties into greater fulfillment in life, creating space for all of our parts to exist harmoniously.
I am passionate about working with those navigating complications related to trauma, depression, anxiety, people-pleasing and perfectionism tendencies, boundary-setting, co-dependency, grief, and women navigating hormonal changes. I am trained in military-focused care. Our work together is guided by somatic wisdom, depth psychology, and mindfulness.
I also integrate Equine Facilitated Mental Health, which can be successful when traditional talk therapy is not effective. The treatment is not Therapeutic Riding, and no horse experience is necessary. Partnering with horses allows us to practice skills such as boundary setting and staying present in an experiential, hands-on, nature-based setting.
