Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) is a different and fun way to reach children, adolescents, and young adults without the stigma of talk therapy. EAP is an alternative therapeutic approach that addresses mental health concerns and everyday life challenges by teaming up with caring therapists and horses. This type of therapy often reflects clients' verbal and nonverbal strengths and incongruencies while enhancing personal growth and development. This experiential, holistic approach works well with solution-focused therapy (SFT) and other evidence-based treatment modalities, e.g., ACT, CBT, DBT, and EMDR.

Do you sometimes feel things are overwhelming or too much has happened, so it’s hard visualizing things getting better? Do you sometimes find yourself turning to unhealthy coping skills to help fill voids which only seems to bring about a temporary release, emptiness or more stress? Some things we can not control which can cause tension in our lives, however, I feel we can learn to better manage how we respond and react to situations. I believe in order for true healing to begin, we must first be willing to be open and honest with ourselves. Within all of us lies hope, strength, the need for connection, and being understood.

I am accepting new clients! Life happens to everyone. Some of us are more equipped to process these experiences, and others may need support. Therapy is needed when symptoms such as sleep disturbance, lack of motivation, anxiety or depression become more than we know how to tolerate and begin to interfere with functioning and relationships.

As said by Jim Rohn, “Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.” We all experience personal setbacks from time to time. Unfortunately, life does not and will never operate completely according to our own plans. When experiencing a setback or situation that requires a different approach, there is absolutely no shame in reaching out for assistance. The human spirit is one of survival and we all have the ability to persevere. It is my belief we are not defined by our weakness, personal struggles, and/or current circumstances.

I help women manage pregnancy & postpartum emotions, break free from old patterns, and handle life transitions.
Raise your hand if "you feel different lately. You’re not exactly sad or distressed, but you couldn’t describe yourself as thriving either. You’re just feeling… blah." You're not excited by things that you once enjoyed, you're going through the motions, and doing what you need to do, nothing more.

We want to show up for ourselves, our partners, our children, and our friends but we need help navigating how to get there.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
