Has life thrown a wrench in your plans and you don't know where to turn? Do you want to gain confidence or develop coping skills to conquer life's challenges? Do you have a tendency to self-sabotage? Speaking with a therapist can provide direction within a supportive and safe environment. There are no issues too big or too small.

Tired of talk therapy? We do little talking in sessions, whether with Equine-assisted Psychotherapy or Accelerated Resolution Therapy. We do "work" therapy. With EAP, you'll participate in activities outdoors on the ground with our team: a licensed mental health professional, an equine specialist and horses. When you trust the horse to be part of your counseling team, you feel more empowered to make changes. Horses are reflective and intuitive, and don't judge. ART uses rapid eye movement to help you reprogram how traumatic memories affect you. Keep the memory; lose the pain. Come "experience" therapy with us.

As a parent or caregiver, you feel like you have tried it all. You are honestly trying to identify with your child, but are at a loss for where to begin. Seeing changes in your child's mood, behavior, declining academic performance, or choices? Your child is sending a message. Your child or family may have experienced a significant change, major life events or a traumatic situation. Allow me to help you face and conquer these challenges! **This practice currently serves children, adolescents, and the young adult population. **

My focus is to help my clients to heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. At Southern Bridge Counseling, we hope to achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan.

“I know that it can be hard to be in a relationship with me.” “I’m too much.” “I can’t depend on anyone but myself.” “I just rather be alone than be with someone and be unhappy.” Each of these statements suggest that you’re living life in a state of fear. When you feel unsafe, you are looking for the danger in situations. You trust no one. You are constantly in the mode of defending, running away, people pleasing or in analysis paralysis (procrastination). As a result of your responses to your fears, each of your relationships suffer. Wouldn’t it be GLORIOUS to trust your spirit of discernment, kill your fears and feel safe?

Life is ever evolving sometimes we believe it to be perfect, other times we see it as being overwhelming, stressful causing us to feel angry, violent, lost, and overworked, we hear and experience heartrending periods of death/grief, highs, and lows that we believe will last forever. We have been told or view ourselves as flawed, not good enough, emotionally, spiritually, and physically injured by others and we start to see ourselves just as they described us. We feel confused, fearful, miserable/unhappy, depressed, and embarrassed. Thus, our past struggles, current challenges, future goals, thought patterns, behavior, and relations

I provide therapy for a variety of issues that you may be facing. The most prominent of these issues are depression, anxiety, and adjustment disorders. This does not mean I do not provide counseling for other issues or that those “other” issues are not as important. Here are a few examples of those “other” issues I have experience with: grief counseling, social skills education, substance abuse, parenting, domestic violence education/counseling and therapy related to chronic medical issues. In my practice, I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). When appropriate, I use other treatment modalities as well.
