You are much more magnificent and brilliant than you ever thought possible! You might just need guidance & support to go inward and discover this truth. Perhaps you’ve already gone to therapy and still find yourself stuck in patterns of victimhood, scarcity, unworthiness, disempowerment, shame, anxiety, depression, and fear. Do you get caught up in old habits and stories that cause suffering? I also specialize in pet loss and grief - another profound portal to heart healing. Whether you’re ready to step into your power and alignment with your soul, or navigating any of life’s transformative challenges, let’s journey together.
My passion is empowering women and men to connect to their hearts and unlock their unlimited brilliance. As a LCSW (licensed clinical social worker), I use relationship-based therapy, experiential therapy including trauma-focused equine assisted psychotherapy, somatic work, inner child work, mindfulness and meditation to help you unearth who you really are!
My therapeutic modalities are heavily based in nature, animals, and a deep sense of playfulness. I meet clients in-person at a beautiful farm in Fairview, North Carolina and offer limited virtual sessions.

I'm passionate about nature-based therapies that help you connect to your heart and soul. Sessions take place on my beautiful farm with horses, goats, sheep, and dogs by a serene river, or virtually. I incorporate mindfulness, heart exercises, and Internal Family Systems. I specialize in life transformation and pet loss/grief. You can meet with animals, work in my cozy barn office, or both.
