I believe in the pursuit of a lifelong journey of growth for myself and my clients. For over 35 years I have been helping children, adolescents, families and individuals address and work through their issues by identifying, exploring and creating new and healthier belief systems founded on acceptance and mindfulness. I specialize in treating attachment issues in children and adolescents as well as emotional, psychological and behavioral manifestations of PTSD in youth and adults, including active duty military men and women and their families. I am an LBGTQ+ ally.
My areas of expertise include: Depression and anxiety; PTSD and trauma-related issues; child and adolescent issues; complex developmental trauma; couples and marriage counseling; mindfulness based awareness skills for emotional well-being; Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). I also offer Equine Assisted Psychotherapy.
I offer in-homes services and will travel up to 20 miles for private pay clients. I am co-founder of Warrior's Soul, Inc. I am a Certified Equine Guided Educator. Our mission is to provide opportunities to facilitate physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being by utilizing the unique interaction created between horse and human.
