Using my MFA in Acting, I began my career working with Adolescents and Women in residential alcohol and drug treatment doing experiential learning.
Whether you are fearful of horses or ride every day, Equine Assisted Therapy techniques are designed to move at your pace and find value at a distance or in the middle of the herd. I will assess your mental health goals and experience with horses, and collaboratively, we’ll develop our therapy plan. No experience with horses is necessary because this is a therapy where humans and horses build relationships without riding. All sessions are unmounted (groundwork).

Are you struggling with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your own feelings and needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Is it difficult for you to explore different roles and aspects of yourself? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and lives. Deciding to begin your therapy journey can feel debilitating and intimidating. On your self discovery journey, it may mean learning to set boundaries, working through loss, life transition or helping you change a pattern of behavior that is keeping you stuck.

When sexual issues are a concern, who do you turn to? It could be that you are suffering from a lack of intimacy in your relationship, an inability to experience pleasure or orgasm, or maybe you are wondering if your desires and fantasies are "normal." Have you sought out help only to be told "just live with it" or "sex isn't that important, anyway"? Or maybe your concerns have just been ignored. Do you want real solutions to your sexual concerns? I can help. I have extensive education and a passion for helping couples/individuals explore and regain pleasure.

Relationships, diagnosis, loss, life and career changes, or wanting to live a less conventional life can create anxiety, times of inner and outer disruption, and a need for support, clarity, and calm spaces. Ask yourself, "Am I recognizable to myself? If so, how? If not, what can we notice about this and shift?" We can ask the same about our relationships. This is, in part what spiritual counseling can help sort, stepping gently, kindly, curiously into the core of your unique needs and design. Who are you now? Now that your world is this, or your body is that, or your view has shifted, or your life has changed? How does this ripple?

Life can get complicated. Seeking guidance to contend with life's complications requires bravery, vulnerability, and perseverance - though, it can be a game changer. As a practitioner, I work best with those who struggle to maintain healthy & satisfying relationships with themselves and others, yet are driven to understand why.

People reach out to therapists when they get to the point where they can no longer find their way. As humans we want to be self-sufficient; we want to be able to believe that we can solve our own issues; it's often difficult for people to ask for help. I would like to offer help, support and hopefully guidance during those difficult times.

Collaborating with clients to develop individually tailored treatment plans, goals, and methods to assess progress in both one-to-one and group situations is what I strive for. In my previous jobs, I created opportunities for individuals who are in the process of discovering new horizons. I have strong intuitive skills that help me understand my clients' abilities and natural gifts in a nonjudgmental way. I have previously enjoyed working as a Crisis Clinician and a Respite Clinician. After that, I transitioned in my roles from Senior Counselor to an Assistant Director to a Clinical director in a residential setting.

For the past 20 years, my work has focused on helping children with anxiety and behavioral challenges. Like physicians, practicing what is scientifically proven to work is essential. Children deserve no less! So when working to help children with anxiety, ODD, DMDD, CD, and IED, I use Parent Management Training (PMT), Cognitive Behavioral Training (CBT), and Problem-Solving Skills Training (PSST). For 7-years at Yale University and for the past 10 years through my clinic, I have trained hundreds of professionals and parents from around the world in these treatments via telehealth and in-person sessions.

Waitlist for new clients
We each have an inner compass steering us toward what we need more or less of, what we are comfortable or uncomfortable with, and whether we need to move or be still. Our bodies have an amazing capacity to communicate if we allow our intuitive voice to be heard. I consider my work to be that of a guide, looking at your compass with you and gently prompting you to honor your body’s innate wisdom towards a more grounded and aligned self. As an integrative somatic therapist I utilize a variety of trauma-informed and evidence-based practices tailored to each person’s unique journey. We cannot only heal the mind, we must invite the body.

For over 14 years, I have worked with clients facing challenges such as addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma and difficult life changes. Together, we connect with their inner resources of self-compassion, wisdom and courage to uncover their authentic selves. When we cultivate a mindset of awareness and understanding, rather than judgment, we create the space to heal. Life experiences become a vehicle for learning and embracing our strength and resilience, as well as deepening our relationship with self and others. We strengthen our ability to live fully, with curiosity and openness to our journey.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
