Navigate the journey to courage while feeling empowered and supported working through animal assisted psychotherapy, play therapy, and expressive art therapy.
While I primarily work with adults, I do still accept children for therapy. Specialities including attachment based trauma training, specialization in foster care/adoption/reunification, ADHD/neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, stress management, LGBTQ+. I work from a strength based, primarily person-centered perspective with CBT, DBT, and Polyvagal Theory infusion. Therapeutic services can look different for each person because we all walk different paths. That being said - our goals are all the same - to be the best functioning individual we can - whatever that looks like to us. I can’t wait to walk alongside you in your journey and show you what I know you’re capable of.

Sessions can take place via Telehealth, in person at my home office, or on our scenic, farm in the presence of nature, horses, and more. All modalities and methods can be catered to your chosen therapy location. CURRENT PAUSE FOR EQUINE SESSIONS.

You can enter the vestibule area and I'll be up to get you. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
Strengths
I am able to think outside the box which enables me to work with you collaboratively to come up with what works best for you. I will walk alongside you and support you in discovering your strengths that I know already exist. In fact, we often forgot "the box" exists - enabling therapy to look like whatever works best for you.
Ideal clients
Therapeutic change has the best chance of occurring if certain conditions are present -empathy, unconditional positive regard, acceptance, and being there to support while our clients discover the strength you've always carried. Change isn't linear and progress is the goal, not perfection.
