Taking on honest self exploration is one of the braves steps someone can make. Much of our lives revolve around relationships: with ourselves and others. As a therapist, I aim to help clients better understand their patterns to work towards their definition of quality of life. I believe you are incredibly capable of the change you wish to see.My therapeutic approach utilizes neuroscience and updated research to encourage self understanding and coping skills. I foster a warm, open hearted therapy experience to work along side of patients to identify their unique strengths and goals and break down barriers to access healing and joy.
I am trained in Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy through the ARCH framework and partner with Riverwood Therapeutic Riding to offer a unique therapeutic option. Relationships with others and ourselves are so impactful on our quality of life. By utilizing IFS, EMDR,Attachment Theory principals, we can gain better understanding on how we interact with the world
Making the decision to start therapy can be a tough one, but I'm so glad you're here! I offer free 15 minute phone consultations to talk about what you're looking for in therapy. Additionally, I am available as an LCSW supervisor for practicing LCSWA's.
