What is your approach?

When I’m in the arena, I call upon all elements of my experience. I have spent years providing coaching services to individuals, groups, and families under close supervision and mentorship. I have completed many hours of continuing education in various modalities and approaches and have been certified as an Equine Specialist provider of EAMH services since 2015. My first training and certification was through EAGALA, followed shortly by OK Corral. I maintain my EAGALA certification through continual training and education.

Clinically, my thinking most aligns with existential humanistic theories but most importantly, I’m on my own long-term recovery journey. I have years of lived experience both firsthand and as a family member of people who struggle with addiction, PTSD, and other challenges.

       All of this to say- experience is not everything but it matters. Education is not everything, but it provides the logical foundation to the creative components of my practice. I am a firm proponent of research and information balanced with flexibility and flow.
