Every therapist has a story - reasons we want to help others live their best lives. My path into this work began long ago, growing up predominantly outdoors around animals. I noticed early on that my mood and body felt better when I was outside, moving, or with animals. I discovered that being around horses and riding was calming and built my confidence. As a mental health professional, I want to offer experiential options based on what has helped me. Offer, not require :). I do hold the majority of my sessions in an office setting or via telehealth, however, if you prefer to walk & talk, be outside or be around animals we can do that too!

I specialize in working with anxiety, trauma, self-esteem challenges, relationships, life transitions, and coaching. I utilize relational, cognitive behavioral, and a creative/integrative lens as interventions, and am extensively trained in dialectical behavioral (DBT) and cognitive behavioral (CBT) therapeutic modalities. Additionally, I greatly enjoy speaking to groups about mental health and giving trainings on various wellness topics.

Why Epona?

I believe we all have a “power stance”, a vision of ourselves that makes us feel aligned with our truest selves. Epona is an ancient Goddess - protector of horses and people. My “power stance” is envisioning myself protecting humans or animals who may have lost their true voice or need help. It speaks to me. What speaks to you?
