About My Clients
You look like you've got it together, but your brain has 47 tabs open (and three are playing music). Maybe you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, people-pleasing, boundaries, big emotions, or life's curveballs. I offer a judgment-free space to untangle it all, with humor when it fits. I also support equestrians facing riding anxiety and confidence struggles—but no horse required! You don't need all the answers or a crisis to start therapy. Come as you are. We'll figure it out together.
My Background and Approach
I'm a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern with a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and experience in the mental health field since 2021. My approach combines evidence-based techniques, including CBT, DBT-informed skills, and motivational interviewing, with genuine connection, compassion, and a little humor. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, emotional regulation, self-esteem, and life transitions. I also offer specialized support for equestrians navigating riding anxiety, confidence struggles, and performance pressure. My goal? To help you understand yourself better, break unhelpful patterns, and build practical tools that actually work in everyday life. Because therapy shouldn't just help you feel heard during our sessions—it should help you feel more confident navigating life outside of them, too.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Outside the therapy room, I'm a wife, mom, horse girl, animal lover, and professional overthinker! Horses have taught me plenty about patience, trust, resilience, and getting back up when life throws you off (sometimes literally!). I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, respected, and accepted exactly as they are. I value authenticity, compassion, inclusivity, and creating a judgment-free space where you can show up as your wonderfully imperfect self. I'm also a firm believer that humor belongs in life and sometimes in therapy. Healing can involve hard conversations, tears, breakthroughs, and occasionally laughing at the absolute chaos of being human. I created Mind in the Saddle to reflect those values: real conversations, genuine connection, and support without the pressure to have everything figured out. Whether you're a horse lover, recovering people-pleaser, or just navigating life's messiness, you're welcome here. Come as you are. No perfect people required.
