Is it possible that this is your circus and these are your monkeys? We all have times when we feel overwhelmed, isolated, discouraged, frustrated by a difficult relationship-when we struggle to create the life we want. It can help to have someone walk alongside you as you build on your strengths to recover what life or trauma has buried. I love to see people shed the weight of unrealistic expectations and develop practices that protect their time and emotional energy.

Everyone can benefit from a healing relationship with a counselor who is safe and trained to facilitate space to verbally process all aspects of life, including counselors themselves. In my experience working with a wide variety of clients, I have observed that people who desire change can achieve their goals in an environment where they can speak vulnerably about their experiences and have the structure to organize and challenge the automatic thoughts that have shaped their lives up till that point. Living by one’s core values is essential to thriving, so it is essential to identify them and evaluate how we abide by them.

Trauma causes changes in our bodies. Once the event is over, our bodies don't just go back to 'normal.' They can stay in survival mode for years. This can cause physical, emotional, and psychological deterioration. EMDR is one of the most effective ways to heal trauma. In healing the trauma, you can show up more fully in your relationships and life.

My focus is humanistic, trauma-informed, and relational/cultural, which means two main things: 1) I view counseling as a collaborative partnership between equals. All individuals are experts in their own lives and possess the ability to move toward awareness, acceptance, and connection. 2) I believe external factors often influence thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and that individuals can grow and even thrive if they are willing and ready to look honestly at whatever has them feeling "stuck." I often help people think through and reprocess complex developmental, psychological and cultural trauma influencing symptoms they present.

WHY HORSES? Often times we feel stuck or unsure how to move forward, how to cope, how to communicate, or how to connect. Horses provide the opportunity for humans to explore and discover their abilities to do all of those things by providing authentic bio-feedback. The truth is, horses don’t lie! In providing bio-feedback, human partners become self -aware, as well as identify ways to cultivate a meaningful, empathic, and reciprocal relationship, become more mindful, regulate where needed, and eventually create healthier thought and behavior patterns.

The clients that I typically work with come from diverse backgrounds and present with an array of concerns, including but certainly not limited to anxiety, depression, trauma, relational dynamics, infidelity, parenting changes, nontraditional family styles, LGBTQ+ identities, kink, polyamory, non-monogamous relationships, marginalized populations, underserved populations, and the list continues. No matter what brings you to therapy, if this is your first or fourth time, I believe healing is always possible, and you can enact change in your life.

Welcome! I specialize in working with adult children of (and/or partners to) narcissists, those with borderline personality disorder, and the emotionally abusive/immature. My clients say they’re relieved to have found a therapist who "gets" them. I am ready to "get" and care for you, too. Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-worth, self-doubt/blame, shame, guilt, a sense of obligation? Are you an expert "people pleaser" because you had to be? Did you receive attention, love, or acceptance based on certain conditions? Did you experience controlling behavior and/or inconsistency/instability that felt unsafe? I get it.

Accepting New Clients; does not accept insurance but can provide out of network paperwork/superbill. Military/law enforcement/small business owner discount. Too often people wait...and wait, hoping things will "just get better." Or maybe there is a stigma around seeking mental health services. My passion is helping people who have been stuck for too long, maybe even thinking all hope is gone. Being a veteran myself, and more specifically a Navy Psychologist, has enabled an understanding of this unique population. I am aware of the intricacies in navigating the VA and maintaining security clearances in careers after the military.

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
