Most people who find their way here have been carrying something heavy for longer than they'd like to admit. For some, they are seeking a new avenue after feeling stuck in more cognitive modalities. For others, being outside the therapy room, in the fresh air and sunshine (or rain!) opens a door that has been closed before. Each has a quiet sense that there might be another way. At The Good Practice we offer therapy outside, in nature, alongside horses, at a pace that feels safe. For adults, adolescents, and couples in the Portland area. No horse experience needed, just curiosity.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in equine-assisted psychotherapy, somatic approaches, and ecotherapy. I offer individual therapy, couples sessions, and family sessions in the greater Portland area. My work is trauma-informed, body-based, and grounded in the belief that healing happens best when we feel safe enough to settle.
I know that reaching out takes courage. I also know that sometimes the most unexpected things, like standing quietly next to a horse on a rainy Oregon morning, can crack something open that nothing else has been able to reach. If you are even a little curious, I would love to hear from you.

I work with grief and loss, life transitions, relationship issues, ecological grief, and LGBTQIA identity, including coming out at any stage of life and finding a space that is genuinely affirming. Sessions are shaped around you, not a fixed protocol, and move at the pace your nervous system allows.

"
I draw primarily from somatic and equine-assisted psychotherapy, both of which work with the body and the present moment rather than talk alone. A relational lens runs through everything, meaning the therapeutic relationship itself is part of the healing. Sessions are held outdoors, in nature, alongside horses.
