Therapist Overview
SPECIALIZING IN YOUTH AND FAMILIES DEALING WITH ADDICTION! Transitions in life are a very vulnerable time where we have the potential to struggle and get stuck in our thoughts and relationships. Let me partner with you or your child to develop more beneficial thoughts that empower changes that create deeper connections. Located on a beautiful ranch, I work with youth experiencing trauma and social issues learn how to build connections with the help of horses. Through this process I will also use CBT, Mindfulness, Strength based, and Motivational interviewing to develop a healthier mind and body. I am an experienced therapist that has worked with youth dealing with many different struggles from anxiety to drug addiction. With over 15 years working as a School Counselor and 5 years in the treatment and prevention of addiction, I know how to encourage positive changes with youth in even the most tumultuous of times. I would love the opportunity to work with you and your child. I know that life isn’t always easy and sometimes we experience very scary emotionally difficult surprises along the way. As a parent you are doing the best that you can to try and get through it. I can be there for you and your child. We are in this together!
