ABOUT ME

I have supported individuals from diverse backgrounds who face a variety of mental health challenges. My greatest passion lies in helping those dealing with anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and self-esteem issues. After several years in community mental health, I realized that traditional office therapy isn’t suitable for everyone. I have the unique opportunity to offer therapy on a farm with a herd of equines. While I still provide office therapy, I find the experience of engaging in equine-assisted psychotherapy to be the most fulfilling. Facilitating a unique bond between clients and the equine herd brings me great joy.

I believe the first step to healing in therapy is developing a safe and trusted relationship with your therapist. It is essential for me that my clients feel comfortable being honest, safe, heard, and seen. I take pride in being compassionate with my clients while also encouraging them to push their boundaries when needed.

I utilize various therapeutic modalities in my practice because I believe that everyone’s needs are different, and a single approach may not suit everyone. The modalities I use include Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, Deep Brain Reorienting, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Mindfulness, Somatic Awareness, and Psychodynamic Therapy. I am grateful to have spent the last several years working and training at The Island Institute for Trauma Recovery.
