I have advanced training in Natural Lifemanship Trauma Focused Equine Assisted Psychotherapy TF-EAP
Do you ask yourself “I’m smart, why is this so difficult?” Or find yourself repeating patterns where you think, “I should know better?” 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? Do you feel you lost your giftedness when you entered high school and gifted "support" became AP classes? Then maybe you could use a guide to help you uncover and understand those things you feel you “should know” or be able to do but might not have ever been taught. Bringing yourself in line with who you want to be is one of the things therapy can do for you.

Turn your never-ending pattern of defeat with your partner into an ever-growing source of enrichment. You may feel unwanted, unvalued, rejected or unsafe in a relationship that used to be marked by love and intimacy. Despite your best efforts, every interaction ends in a damaging fight or excruciating loneliness. These are predictable experiences to problems that have a highly effective solution.

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.

Are you exhausted at trying to "figure it all out"? Does life seem to have you in a stranglehold and you're finding yourself with this stuck feeling-in life, at work, and at home with friends and family. Good news, you're not alone. In fact, many of us struggle daily with who we are, what we want, and where we're going. At times, we feel we're doing too much and when we rest we find ourselves feeling guilty and anxious as though we'll be found out for taking a breather. Whether these feelings are passive or pervasive, you're not alone. We each long to be understood and strive for meaningful connection.
