I am trained in a few different trauma focused modalities including EMDR and IFS.
Finding the right counselor can be a difficult task. Therapists are a lot like shoes, there are so many to choose from. Some will fit you and some won’t, but once you find the pair that fits just right, then you can run faster than ever before. That is why it is helpful to use the first few sessions to “try on” the therapeutic fit with a new counselor and see how it feels. In my office, the first few sessions I focus on trying to understand more of your story and where you’re at, then to assess together how therapy can be most helpful so we make sure you’re getting what you’re looking for out of therapy.

My area of expertise is in stress- and trauma-related symptoms, namely posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and suicidality. Stress and trauma can shift our entire worldview and our sense of safety and trust, our confidence and competency, and sometimes makes us feel we no longer 'fit' where we used to. This can effect every aspect of our lives. I will serve as a sounding board, to help identify your "why" and your "what," to access and troubleshoot any roadblocks along the journey, then provide strength-based, trauma-focused support to reach your specific goals and help you to build a life you truly want to live.

By the end of each appointment with me, I want you to feel like you’ve been heard and that you’ve gained something valuable, whether that’s new coping skills or an improved sense of peace or strength. Your trauma is stored in your nervous system, so I utilize therapies like EMDR to work to relieve you of your burden. My training is in grief and trauma-related symptoms like anxiety, depression, PTSD, self-harm, and suicidality. I provide trauma-focused therapy to support you as we work together to reach your goals.

In-person and teletherapy appointment options available. Life is full of challenging and painful experiences. These stressful, sometimes traumatic events can create suffering, grief, and emotional upset. You may lose focus on your goals. Your relationships may be negatively affected. If your life plans go off course, get pushed aside or delayed, you may need help getting things back on track. I am passionate about empowering clients to find peace and self-compassion, reduce distress, and reclaim their lives. I work with teens and adults helping them bravely transition from a state of survival to one of thriving.

I focus on facilitating stronger relationships with those in a client's support system. I am committed to each individual and using each session to identify and address concerns and questions for individuals, couples, and families.

I use trauma informed practices including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Therapy), TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Ego State Therapies, Emotionally Focused Therapy and Attachment Theory.
Distressing and traumatic experiences can leave us feeling confused, alone and emotionally disconnected. As a trauma informed therapist I assist individuals in confronting, making sense of and resolving past, traumatic experiences. I help my clients connect present day unhelpful behaviors, beliefs and attitudes to unresolved, lived experiences. I have 15 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents and adults. My areas of expertise include: trauma, anxiety and depressive disorders, maternal mental health (i.e. postpartum depression), grief and loss and issues of self-esteem.

Hi I'm Cameron. I specialize in treating sexual addiction, betrayal trauma, and PTSD. I believe that unresolved trauma is at the root of many mental health issues. As we heal from within and resolve past experiences we begin to find more peace in the present moment. I have found that talk therapy doesn't necessarily resolve trauma and that additional interventions are often needed. If you are looking for a very directed and focused approach that is geared towards finding relief from the symptoms of trauma, the approaches I use may be a good fit for you.

We often don’t have the understanding why we feel so separate from ourselves, the struggle to understand what’s happening within & around us, feeling lost trying to navigate the complexity of life. We need a space to explore this. Golden Horse Counseling’s purpose is to create a space for healing, a place where we can learn to fully connect to ourselves. Our intent is never to fix our clients' problems but rather to provide a space where they can explore and create lasting change. We recognize the profound impact this healing process has, and create space for clients to rewrite their stories, gather the reins, & gallop forward.
