Talk Therapy: Classic, Real, Safe

These words by Rumi, “You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens”, have driven me headlong into a passion for helping others find meaning and beauty in their brokenness. Our lives can demand much of us, and when the burden becomes too great we may find ourselves lost and disconnected. I am here to help you reconnect, rebuild, and redefine the purposes and hope you have in life, no matter what crossroads you are facing. 

I have over 10 years of clinical experience, working within residential treatment centers, hospitals, 12-step programs, agencies, and private practice. I specialize in teens and young adulthood, anxiety, depression, grief, relational stressors, substance use, trauma, and identity issues. I offer individual therapy for all ages who are experiencing life transitions, and my passion is working with teens and young people. I use an eclectic therapy approach to suit each client in their unique way, and am trained in Brainspotting, which is a leading trauma recovery modality.  I am also EAGALA and O.K. Corrall certified as an Equine Assisted Psychotherapist, and offer experiential therapy with horses as a supplement to traditional talk therapy. Horses have played a profound role in my own life, and I am honored to lead others through their healing with this remarkable experience. 

Things I’m known for in the office: high focus to your needs, creative solutions, accessibility (I use my direct cell for client texts/calls), genuineness, always having tea on hand, and finding humor in life. 

Things I'm known for out of the office: my love of animals (particularly my two dogs, "Alamo" and "Supreme", and my Clydesdale “Neo”), anything to do with nature or country living, listening to music, and watching black and white films. 

Call or text me. You are worth getting to know. I promise I will be authentic, professional, and real as we create and explore your story together.
