I specialize in treating pre-teens and teens through Equine Assisted Psychotherapy - an experiential form of therapy that intertwines EFT/Gestalt/CBT/Mindfulness. I am also EMDR trained to competently treat trauma. My office and therapy herd are located at a small private ranch in North Boulder/South Longmont off Hwy 36.

The ideal client for this work is struggling with issues such as: - low self-esteem, or a negative view of self. - trauma. - isolating from others. - making or maintaining relationships with others. - feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression. - academics, with friends, or with family relationships. - emotion relation, anger, frustration, defiance. - communication.

On my website you will find more information and photos of the ranch, horses, and office. Please reach out at any time!

JoySpring therapy is mindfulness-based relational therapy that focuses on helping clients to tap into the joy that is always present within them, regardless of the conditions of their lives. We welcome all clients, but specialize in woman-to-woman therapy revolving around issues of identity/individuation, self-esteem/self-empowerment, relationships, work/life balance, spiritual growth, and life transition.

JoySpring Therapy stems from the philosophy that joy is unconditional, and is not based on people, partners or having things a certain way. Joy does not exclude pain, discomfort, fear, grief, confusion, loneliness, wonderment, befuddlement… but rather it is the deep knowing that the heart can bear it all.

My work focuses on the re-wilding of the human soul. Using a combination of Depth Psychology, Soulcraft, Somatic Psychotherapy & Embodiment and explorations of masculine/feminine, sexuality & intimacy and the mythic proportions of our individual and collective stories I work with individuals, couples, groups and communities to restore Right Relationship with self, other and the larger world.
