WELCOME AND CONGRATULATIONS!
Saddle up for the start of your therapeutic journey!
Do you like the quiet, calm, and consistency of a therapy office? Maybe you prefer the serenity of nature and peaceful presence of animals instead? Both are amazing options! I host therapy both in the office where I practice traditional talk therapy AND at a barn where I practice Equine Assisted Psychotherapy! I enjoy being able to work with my clients in the setting they are most comfortable in. This is where the most growth occurs!
Each individual is unique. I alter my therapeutic approach based on the needs of my client and how they best respond. All of my clients have strengths they can utilize and build upon throughout their therapeutic journey. I believe in strong and transparent interpersonal relationships, and also encourage out of the box thinking to enhance progress and growth for my clients.
YOU are the expert of your life and your experiences. I am here to assist you in taking the reins to navigate your own path and to strive for growth into the best version of you.
I have experience working with diverse populations ages 7-100+ in both rural and urban settings. My past work experiences have allowed me to practice in areas of grief, hospice care, trauma, and foster care. I have been part of the E*Volve team for 5 years where I have had the opportunity to work in areas of anxiety, depression, stress management, hoarding, life adjustments, and much more!
