Christian counseling integrates evidence-based therapeutic approaches with a Christ-centered perspective. It's not just prayer instead of therapy — it's real clinical work that also honors your faith, your values, and your spiritual journey. At Hope Reins, I use tools like Brainspotting, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Art Therapy alongside Scripture and faith-based reflection. You get the best of both worlds: proven methods and a counselor who shares your worldview.

No. While my approach is Christ-centered, I welcome clients of all backgrounds who are open to a faith-informed perspective on healing. What matters most is that you feel safe, respected, and ready to do the work.

This is one of the most common things I hear — and yes, counseling is absolutely for you. In fact, caregivers are some of the people who need support most and seek it least. You cannot pour from an empty cup. Getting help isn't selfish — it's what makes you sustainable for the people who depend on you.

Most therapy focuses on talking through problems — which helps, but often isn't enough for deep grief, trauma, or burnout. At Hope Reins I use a variety of approaches to find what works for you. I use CBT, Art Therapy, Equine Intensives and Brainspotting therapy. Brainspotting accesses where trauma is actually stored in the brain and body, creating breakthroughs that traditional talk therapy sometimes can't reach. Many clients who felt stuck for years experience significant shifts within just a few sessions.

Brainspotting is a powerful brain-body therapy that locates where trauma, grief, and emotional pain are stored in your nervous system — and helps release it. Unlike traditional talk therapy, you don't have to relive painful memories in detail for healing to happen. It works especially well for grief, PTSD, anxiety, and feeling emotionally stuck. I am a trained Brainspotting therapist and use it regularly with clients who have struggled to find relief through other approaches.

Research consistently shows that online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for most concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. Many clients actually find it easier to open up from the comfort of their own home. All sessions at Hope Reins are conducted via secure, HIPAA-compliant video — so your privacy is fully protected.

Yes — for those who want to go deeper or accelerate their healing, I offer equine-assisted intensives and retreats. These are immersive experiences where partnering with horses creates breakthroughs that can take months to achieve in weekly sessions. No horse experience is needed. These are available by appointment — contact me to learn more.

The best way to find out is through a free 20-minute consultation. There's no commitment and no pressure — just an honest conversation about where you are, what you're looking for, and whether Hope Reins is the right fit. If I'm not the right fit, I'll do my best to point you toward someone who is.
