Therapy is a collaborative process—I believe in integrating client interests and preferences into the therapy space, adapting my approach to each individual. For the past 7 years, I have enjoyed working in the field of mental health. In this work, I strive to help people identify the stories they hold that cause suffering or limitation and rewrite those narratives to reflect freedom, new information, and allow for choices that reflect their values. In session, identifying and rewriting problem narratives might look like talking together, learning and practicing skills, writing poetry together or integrating family or horses into the work. I approach my work with energy, creativity, and always a touch of humor. If clients are interested, I offer a skills-based approach, incorporating skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) or Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT). I help clients process trauma through Lifespan Integration or Trauma Focused Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. As a marriage and family therapist, I work with both individuals and family systems to support the growth of the whole person.
