My love for horses began at a young age, spending time with my grandparents on their ranch in Wyoming. Some of my favorite childhood memories were made there, where I learned firsthand the quiet strength, patience, and connection that horses naturally offer. At the time, I didn't realize those experiences would one day shape my career.

Years later, while I was in graduate school, a close friend generously shared her horses with me during a season when I needed them most. Spending time with them became more than just an escape—it became a place of healing. The peace, grounding, and unconditional presence I experienced with those horses helped me navigate life's challenges in a way that traditional settings alone could not. That experience sparked a dream: to one day provide that same opportunity for others.

I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Denver and began my career in 2014 working with the Department of Human Services, supporting children and families who had experienced trauma, abuse, neglect, and other significant life challenges. Throughout those years, I saw how many individuals struggled to put words to their experiences and how healing often happens through connection rather than conversation alone. That realization led me to become certified in Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, allowing me to combine evidence-based mental health treatment with the unique healing relationship between people and horses.

Today, I am the founder of Unbridled Resilience Therapy, where I integrate Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. My passion is helping children, adolescents, adults, and families navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges while discovering their own resilience.
