My background with horses initially motivated my career in psychotherapy in providing Equine-Assisted Therapy, but my continued interest in mind-body healing furthered my training in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). My practice stresses psychosomatic awareness, attachment background, and significant life events that have shaped our psyche and understanding of ourselves. 

My education includes a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology from Colorado State University and a Master's in Clinical Counseling from Regis University. Additionally, I am a Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor and Equine-Specialist in Mental Health and Learning through PATH Intl. and a Certified EMDR Therapist through the EMDR Institute. 

Before starting my private practice, I have acted as a Program Director and Therapist for several Equine Therapy non-profits and was a Wellness Clinician for a large community mental health organization.
