Trauma changes the way we see ourselves and the world. You may feel stuck in survival mode—on edge, disconnected, or ashamed of needing help. Maybe relationships feel harder than they “should,” or you keep repeating patterns that leave you hurt and exhausted. Healing from trauma is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone. I offer a grounded, compassionate space where youth, teens, parents, and adults can begin to feel safe again. Together, we’ll gently untangle what’s keeping you stuck, explore how your nervous system responds to stress, and help you rebuild trust, connection, and self-worth.
I take a whole-person, psychodynamic approach that integrates talk therapy, somatic work, neuroscience, and equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAP) as multi-hour intensives or weekly sessions. EAP often involves a team approach including the therapist (me), horse, and equine professional.
You deserve relief and healing. I invite you to reach out for a free 20-minute consultation so we can explore if this next step feels right for you.

I use treatments that align with a psychodynamic approach - that is those that consider how experiences as well as our biology might be impacting us still today. Sometimes these memories happen on an unconscious level, and so incorporating things like sand tray, painting, and interactions with horses help to bring those things to the surface to be reprocessed.
