I work with individual adults in traditional talk therapy, and with adults and teens (children 7 and up on a case by case basis) in nature therapy and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. Most sessions are held weekly, though I offer bi-weekly appointments when appropriate. Some clients find it helpful to alternate between equine sessions and traditional therapy, creating a rhythm that best supports their goals and needs.

Traditional Talk Therapy

• In Person
• Remote/Telehealth

I’m fortunate to work alongside a group of thoughtful and compassionate colleagues at Agate Therapy Group, where I offer in person therapy at our office in a vintage home in upper Queen Anne, Seattle.

I also offer in person sessions in a bright, comfortable office building steps from Confluence Park in Issaquah.

Nature Therapy

The unique regulation and restoration of nature therapy is available in three locations: the beautiful streets, parks, and historic cemetery of Upper Queen Anne, Confluence Park in Issaquah, and the quiet rural town of Carnation, which offers riverside walking paths and hiking trails in the stunning Snoqualmie River Valley just east of Seattle. Nature therapy—including mindful walking, hiking, and forest bathing—is shown to reduce stress, increase feelings of safety and connectedness, and decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression. It invites a gentle rhythm that supports emotional flow, presence, and insight in a grounded and embodied way.

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy

I offer Equine Assisted Psychotherapy at beautiful, private barns in Kirkland (Bridle Trails) and Monroe. Building on my foundation in EAGALA, I am continuing training in Natural Lifemanship and HEAL (Human Equine Alliances for Learning).

In equine therapy we partner with the horses and work as a team of two humans: a licensed clinical therapist and an equine specialist. At Bridle Trails, I am grateful to partner with Julie Harcus, a lifelong equestrian with a background in social work and many years of experience and expertise working with horses, children, and adults.

I am also grateful to partner with equine specialist and trauma informed therapist Amy Schilder at NW Hearts United, a trusted and generous organization out of Bellingham, and am proud to be a part of her Stiqiw Wellness Collective. A longtime horsewoman, Amy has many years of experience working in the field of equine therapy.

There is typically no riding in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. The horses are seen as partners, not tools, and we will often work with them at liberty (no halters or lead ropes). It is important that the horses are able to choose how to be with us, and are given the freedom and respect they deserve. Their ability to respond authentically and intuitively is central to the healing relationship we build together.
