Therapy is a journey toward self discovery, self realization, growth and change. Many people find themselves struggling with issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety, fear and depression. They create inaccurate beliefs about themselves based on false and negative thoughts. The secret to building positive self-esteem is to learn to see the whole you not just your mistakes, failures or imperfections. "To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance" Oscar Wilde

I believe everyone innate worthiness. Unfortunately, our lifetime experiences may cause us to feel otherwise. I believe we all have the capacity for greater self compassion, healing, and finding fulfillment in our lives. Once our burdens feel lighter and we begin to let go of old stories about ourselves, we can live more fully as our intrinsic selves . I am trained in Natural Processing, certified in EMDR as well as Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and EquiLateral EMDR.

Life events can impact us in ways we couldn’t have imagined and at times we least expect it. These events can elicit parts of us that experience confusion, anxiety, overwhelm, and sadness or lead us to fall into patterns that may not make sense. Perhaps you’d like support to bring a sense of clarity, connection, and confidence within yourself and within your relationships, or to develop and heighten a passion and vitality for life. I recognize that your goals are unique to you and are honored in the therapeutic process.
