My clients come to therapy motivated by the desire for change and because of one or more of the following issues: anger, anxiety, depression, family of origin issues, grief and loss, relationship issues and trauma. The therapeutic progress provides the opportunity to reflect on one's life, to understand one's feelings, thoughts, behaviors and motivations, to realize new perspectives and to be listened to with respect and attention. Psychotherapy allows for the healing of wounds, reclaiming of dreams and living a life that is more authentic and meaningful.

With a deep-seated belief that human connection is both essential for survival and instrumental in achieving personal growth, I have dedicated my career to understanding and fostering this connection through my specialization in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), attachment theory, existentialism, and a multisystemic approach, particularly when working with children. My journey in the field of mental health has been fueled by an innate curiosity about the human experience, leading me to the profound realization that people need people to not only survive but to truly thrive.

You are on the right track: seeking out assistants, allies. Kind of depressed? Anxious? Troubles in your relationship? Feeling alienated or a loss of direction? There are lots of ways to describe it, and initially that's all I'll ask you to do. You'll have the freedom of a confidential discussion and a trained professional to help illuminate issues, set goals, and pursue your concerns. You may want insight into your situation. You may want tools. You certainly want results, and to develop some capacities that you haven't seen for a while. That works for me. And I offer clinical supervision to other therapists as well.

The core of the work done here is allowing you to access in real time, instinctual solutions for what ails you. This is done by employing specific activities that all but require the client to become present with their emotional reality. The horse only responds favorably to self-awareness and honesty. When this is achieved, the honesty, vulnerability, and awareness are reinforced via undoubted connection with the horse. Often, this leads to feelings of contentment, confidence, and awareness. These are then applied to both intra and inter-personal relationships when not with the horse.

Welcome! I work with clients who are ready to upgrade their lives in a significant way. Feeling stuck in the same patterns can leave you feeling hopeless and create low self-worth. The truth is, most unhealthy patterns aren't due to a lack of will power or competence; they're due to blocking beliefs and subconscious protective mechanisms. I believe that every person has the ability to uncover and reprogram those old limiting beliefs, leading to greater life fulfillment.
