Rather than sitting in an office, my sessions are most often outside with the inclusion of horses, mini donkeys, and mini goats. Engaging while outdoors provides opportunity for experiential growth and engaging in healing while using the sights, sounds, and yes scents of nature to help ground and center during session. Sessions often include working on healing from trauma, managing and decreasing a variety of symptoms like, depression, anxiety, frustration tolerance, relationship conflict, and attentional challenges.

**CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* I believe that there is no single treatment that works best for everyone. I believe that therapy is the most effective when it's tailored to the unique needs of each client. We will spend time building trust arriving at a shared understanding of your treatment goals. My practice focuses on creating space in which transformation is possible and old patterns can shift into something that allows for growth and possibility. We'll start with current challenges that you may be experiencing and together, we will carve out a road map that can help you on your journey to be the most complete version of you.

Are you looking for a better life balance? I have worked with people who are going through life transitions, having experiences with anxiety and depression and ultimately looking to improve their life quality. Clients come to me to help talk through aspects of their life that they want to “clean up”.

Always coming from a place of respect, warmth and authenticity I provide psychotherapy to children, adolescents and adults.

Drawing from 27 years of training and experience in a variety of settings, we will use a collaborative approach to unearth and/or to build on strengths that develop insight and that foster healing and growth.

I help adults in all phases of life. I help my clients work through new and past traumas, and through typical or unexpected life transitions. In therapy we can make meaning, find purpose, or forge new paths. Many clients come for help managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, or addictions. If you need help but don't know what questions to ask, that's okay! You don't have to know exactly what's wrong or what you want. Finding out is part of the process! Therapy can be to heal, recover, sort through, reconnect, rejuvenate, strengthen, or change aspects of your life to make it more manageable & meaningful.
