Maybe you were identified as Gifted as a child (or your teen is gifted) and wonder why they call it "gifted" when things are hard?
Being around horses or in nature often brings up internal questions. From this jumping off place we might visit the past, looking for what might have been solutions to old problems but aren’t working anymore. We might visit the future, are you on the path you want to be on? Or we might learn to stay in the present, breathing with a horse.

The populations I am a good fit for are teens and adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, life changes, relationship issues, and ADHD. As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD later in life, I especially love helping fellow neurodivergent individuals examine and reconstruct beliefs they may have developed about themselves. I am an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP). I also really enjoy being an unbiased support for teens and helping them discover who they are and what they want out of life in their transition from adolescence to adulthood.

My ideal client would be where you find yourself trying to hold it together, and you may not look for help until a situation has gotten worse and its almost a crisis. That situation will significantly affect your life, and you will hit a breaking point. This might be self-esteem, anxiety, depression, adjusting to life changes, codependency, grief, health issues, or just feeling stuck. It's hard to ask for help but here you are, and what you thought might work is not working any more. You would find yourself in my office feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, confused but feeling like you had taken the first step to finding HOPE.

Trouble with your Teen?
Communication is difficult in any relationship, but even harder between a teenager and parent as your child tries to become independent while still dependent on you. My job is to get you both talking...the same language...so that your relationship becomes closer, not more frayed and distant especially before they are off to college or on their own.

Teen Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
