Life is full of seasons - and some of the hardest come in the middle of our story. Whether you're navigating changing roles in your marriage, parenting adult or teen children, facing unexpected transitions, or carrying the weight of anxiety, depression, or trauma, it can feel overwhelming and isolating. You may be doing your best, yet still feel stuck, exhausted, or unsure of who you are becoming.

Golden Horse Counseling exists because so many of us feel disconnected—from our bodies, our emotions, even our own stories—and don’t know why. As an EMDR Consultant and lifelong learner, I continually deepen my expertise so I can meet each client and fellow therapists exactly where they are. I draw on advanced training in EMDR, Structural dissociation, Deep Brain Reorienting, & Equine‑Assisted EMDR to inform every session. Here, we don’t “fix” problems; we open a safe, supportive space to explore, integrate, and transform. Together, you’ll rewrite your narrative, take hold of the reins, and gallop confidently into the next chapter.

Religious trauma. Spiritual abuse. Recovery from purity culture. For the past ten years, I’ve specialized in supporting women with complex trauma. In recent years, I’ve added a specialization in religious trauma. Like other forms of trauma, religious trauma often shows up as anxiety, depression, and relational struggles. I primarily work with women, but I’m also an affirming ally of the LGBTQ community. My goal is to help clients untangle the web of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that keep them feeling stuck—and support them in reclaiming a sense of safety and self. Let's go deeper than symptom relief into real emotional healing.

What you are feeling is valid and deserves a space to be heard and healed. Each person's path to wholeness is unique. Let's help you heal, feel more connected, and find the peace you deserve.

One of my deepest held beliefs is that, in general, everyone is doing the best they can in life with what they currently believe to be true. Rather than feeling judged or ashamed of one's personal life struggles, people need to feel supported through being offered new ideas and by being reminded of their own inborn, unwavering worth. In my therapy practice, I strive to help others reconnect with that worth and with their own personal value system that their hearts know to be true. We are all students of life and we are all still learning.

Healing begins when you feel safe to show up fully as yourself—questions, emotions, contradictions and all. My work is centered around helping women, young adults, and faith-transitioning individuals make peace with their past, reconnect with their bodies, and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust. I specialize in working with trauma, body image, perfectionism, anxiety, and religious deconstruction. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck between who they were told to be and who they’re becoming. My role is to walk alongside you as you untangle those old stories and build something more true and whole.

If you are a couple struggling with constant conflict, poor communication, or emotional distance, counseling may help. You might feel stuck, frustrated, or disconnected, repeating patterns that leave both feeling unheard or unsupported. Stress, life transitions, or past challenges or faith conflict may intensify tension. Counseling can guide you to rebuild trust, improve understanding, and develop healthier ways to connect and navigate life together.

Relationships are the most important things in your life, yet something is getting in the way of feeling close. You feel stuck and don't know where to go from here. Maybe you're feeling lost in your own body and life feels like its spinning, and you yearn for something more meaningful. Life feels big and overwhelming. Maybe you have no idea what you need yet, and maybe you don't know how to ask. I know what it's like to want a therapist that can sit with you in the mess so you can feel totally seen and have the time to figure out who you are and how to get what you want.

Lately you’ve noticed you’re consumed with negative thoughts and painful feelings. A lot of your time is spent trying to numb and distract. It’s hard to find much meaning or value in life. You notice that you’re consumed with thoughts about food, tried every diet and still hate your body. People around you think you “have it all together” but inside you are falling apart. You are desperate to find ways to like yourself, handle upsetting situations and have more meaningful relationships. Therapy is an opportunity to dig into those uncomfortable places within you.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.

How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
