Healing doesn’t always have to happen inside four walls. Sometimes, what we really need is fresh air, movement, and space to reconnect—with ourselves, with nature, and with something deeper. That’s why I offer a different kind of experience. Being outdoors and connecting with horses can bring clarity, calm, and insight in ways that traditional settings sometimes can’t. It’s a chance to explore something new—something more grounded, more open, and more expansive.

I am experienced in working with children and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use in various settings.
My therapeutic approach resembles the Japanese art form of Kintsugi in which broken pieces of pottery are mended together by precious metals, creating an equally or even more beautiful creation than it was in its original state. As a philosophy, if an object has been damaged then it has more of a history and should, therefore, be honored and highlighted, rather than hidden or discarded. Just as the broken sections are embraced in Kintsugi I believe that the broken, flawed, imperfect pieces of our life can come together with the good experiences, to form an even more amazing and beautiful life.

Struggling with trauma, body image, or the pressure to always perform at your best can feel exhausting. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed—trapped in cycles of anxiety, perfectionism, or self-doubt. Some are athletes who have spent years pushing their bodies to the limit, only to feel disconnected from them. Others find themselves caught in patterns with food and exercise that feel impossible to break. No matter the story, they all want the same thing: to feel more present, more at peace, and more in control of their lives.

Substance Use Therapists
How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?
There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
