Registered Marriage and Family Therapist Intern - Pending Approval
I work with teenagers, adults, couples, and families.​ I specialize in couples and family dynamics. I am offering Equine Therapy, working with horses and utilizing the calming effects of grooming, petting, and quality time around animals.

I believe therapy is an invaluable tool that is beneficial for everyone. I integrate a psychodynamic and person-centered approach to counseling with CBT and DBT. I work in collaboration with my clients to help them achieve their goals and find healing. Grace and compassion are the core values I base my practice on as we move through the therapeutic process together, finding internal harmony.
​
I have experience working with adults in crisis situations, depression, anxiety, relational issues, and substance abuse, as well as with first responders and veterans. I have experience working with children age 8 and older, with a focus on creating and attaining goals and coping strategies. I offer Christian faith-based counseling upon request.

My professional background spans across various industries, including law enforcement and education. I am a mother, a writer, and I enjoy spending time in nature.

EQUINE THERAPY
Many people seek being with horses for personal gratification, emotional support, and self-care. Research shows how programs using equines can boost feelings of purpose, motivation, self-awareness, self-esteem, and encourage emotional expression and connection. Equine Therapy has been used for troubled teens, inmate programs, parent/child bonding sessions, couples therapy, and even curtailing addictions.
​
Horses have the power to mirror our emotions, offer zero judgement, serve as great listeners, and communicate in a soulful way. The connections they make with humans are valuable towards building interpersonal connection and healing, therefore making the sessions very valuable.
​
I conduct Equine Therapy sessions on a15-acre farm in Samsula, just outside of the Port Orange city limit. The farm has 7 horses, 2 pigs, and 3 donkeys. It is a peaceful setting with a creek, a pond, some woods, and a barn. The horses we work with are senior horses who are mellow, and one young horse who's like a big puppy dog. The pot-bellied pig, Charlotte, is sociable and loves to be groomed, as well.
