I AM not CURRENTLY ACCEPTING ANY NEW CLIENTs. I am still available for consultations and teaching/workshops.

Note: I do not accept insurance.  I do accept HSA cards.  

My practice is experiential and usually mostly nature-based - most clients feel more freedom to be themselves, and more able to access their full selves, when moving and outdoors.  I particularly enjoy working with people who care for others - therapists, parents, and wellness professionals. Please refer to my “About Me” page for more information on my theoretical background and training.

The Way I Work: I believe in experiences as well as conversation to bring about growth and healing, our bodies have as much to tell us as our brains - talking can only scratch the surface. In a session with me you can expect to move your body and engage with your surroundings - we will often be outdoors and sometimes in the company of horses (if appropriate). Based on an understanding of neurobiology, we know incorporating movement into therapeutic experience helps a client to relax, fully engage, and open up. When the body feels, the mind learns. I will always work to be attuned to your specific needs in each session so that I do not ask you to stretch beyond your limits.

These sorts of interactions are particularly helpful for those who care for others - therapists, parents, wellness professionals - knowing how we show up in life is the most important way we can help others be the best version of themselves.

I do not work in hour long, weekly sessions as most other therapists do. I believe for experiential work more time is needed, and can be done less frequently. Please see below for session options. My intention is to create a safe space within which we can begin to understand how our internal world impacts our external lives through psychodrama, yoga, nature-based movement and sensing, and spontaneous/curious interactions with each other and horses. This is a collaborative effort in a safe space - my intention is to never overwhelm my clients, but help them clear out their emotional clutter so they may approach their lives with a peaceful sense of purpose.

Find a way of being that feels intentional, with joy and authenticity.

Consultations. Can be in-person (for those working with horses), by phone, or video call - consultations are available and adapted for a variety of purposes and are not considered therapy. Common reasons for consultations include:

  1. Therapists or horse professionals who are on a journey toward utilizing Equine Assisted Services and have questions about cases, their own horses, or their own personal work as it applies to sessions.

  2. I also particularly enjoy working with individuals who want to reflect and improve on the experiences they had in the course of their Natural Lifemanship trainings - and offer consultations for those going through NL certification (please book through NL website to gain credit).

  3. Working moms who want a place to think through work/life balance.

  4. Parents who are seeking guidance on how best to address family concerns.

Intensives.  Intensives are sessions in a more condensed format - more can be done in a single session, and therefore fewer sessions are needed. Intensives can be half-day, full day, or multi day and be one-time or repeated.  Each intensive is tailored to the needs of each client and is conducted outdoors when possible and in partnership with horses when desired. Minimum 2 hour session required.

Adjunctive Work.  If you are already seeing a talk therapist but feel stuck or like you are going around in circles - a day experiencing the outdoors can be incredibly helpful to knock loose new and valuable insights.  We will work with your current therapist to offer you an intensive that supports your current therapy goals.  Minimum 2 hours required.

Retreats.  Retreats are one or more days of equine work, mindfulness, movement, journaling, nature, and community.  I particularly enjoy putting together retreats for parents, therapists, other wellness professionals, and families in need of time to connect and heal.  Please inquire if you are interested - most retreats are built on demand. 

Trainings, presentations, workshops.  As a former teacher, a current family therapist, an Equine Assisted Psychotherapist, and an Equine Professional, I have a unique blend of training in neurobiology, attachment and child development, family systems, horse-human relationships, trauma, and clinical work.  I offer educational and self-care workshops for parent groups, schools, clinicians, and other wellness professionals.
