Your friends say you’ve got it all together—and you do. You walk into any room, smile, and make it look effortless. But beneath the surface, you feel disconnected, like you’re just going through the motions. You’ve worked hard to maintain this front, but it’s exhausting. Growing up, you had to put on a happy face, hiding what was really happening. You thought life would be different, yet here you are, stuck in the same cycle, hoping for change.
Change is uncomfortable, and the thought of doing something different makes your stomach churn. But staying stuck in old patterns is even harder. They never really worked. You want to feel real, but dropping the mask feels overwhelming. That’s where we begin. No more performing or guessing who you should be. You have courage now you learn to trust yourself.
I blend neuroscience, trauma healing, and performance psychology to help you break patterns at their core. You won’t just learn to cope—you’ll rewire how you think, feel, and show up. Together, we’ll quiet the inner critic, build self-trust, and make success feel fulfilling, not exhausting. If you are ready to start truly living, real change begins now.

I often use EMDR to help clients with a wide variety of struggles such as trauma complex trauma and equestrian sports performance. During the first session, we will discuss what you want to achieve during therapy. Then we will discuss what will be the most effective way to achieve the changes desired; a combination of EMDR animal-assisted therapy and cognitive behavior therapy such as ACT.
