Children and adolescents are a great example of this.
Working with children, youth, adults, and families, I help identify unhealthy patterns and teach tools you can use to begin making small changes in your life. Sometimes emotions are distressing and no fun to deal with, which can also lead to behavioral issues. Given enough power, unpleasant experiences can make living life and being in relationships difficult. As you make small changes, these small little changes add up and you’ll hopefully find yourself facing a different direction with a stronger sense of who you are as a human being, not human doer. I can support you on your journey as you practice fumbling with your new tools.

Do you struggle with sticky negative thoughts or feelings that are too hard to manage alone? Do you want to explore the idea of change in your life? The space we create together in therapy is a safe and accepting place for you to be vulnerable without shame or judgment. Facing our own inner struggles, historical traumas, or interpersonal problems can feel challenging, but as your counselor, I will work collaboratively with you to foster strong empowerment, healthy growth, and positive change.

I help children and adults of any gender find self-acceptance and belonging without shrinking themselves to fit in. If you struggle with grief, loneliness, or disconnection I want to help you find your sense of belonging and connection. As a relational, psychodynamic psychotherapist, I am interested in the whole of you—the parts you find acceptable and the parts of you that remain exiled in the shadows. We exist as embodied ecosystems rich with specificity, including the people, places, social identities, experiences, and beliefs which have shaped how we move through the world and our relationship with suffering, pain, and desire.

Assisting individuals, couples, parents and families with the challenges of life is a privilege and a passion!

We are also often faced with the anxiety and fear of transitions and unexpected life changes. I am here to help you navigate these challenges!

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy is highly active and quickly engages even clients who have become disillusioned with more traditional therapeutic approaches. Horses and activites are combined to help clients recognize their typical approach to problems, what may or may not be working, and how to move forward.
