I specialize in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Equine Assisted EMDR. With the help of the horses, my goal is to help you move beyond your past to live more fully in the present. You may be carrying the emotional burden of trauma, a toxic relationship or family dynamic. If you feel stuck in a cycle of pain and dysregulation, my hope is to guide you into healing, leaving the past where it should be. I will work with you to restore your sense of well-being and your hope in a bright future.
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) is a therapeutic approach that partners with horses to facilitate the healing process. Horses are incredible teachers of presence in both mind and body while offering a new lens to view relationship dynamics. They are a non judgmental presence that offers safety but also challenges you to new ways of being in your life.
EMDR is an evidence based treatment modality proven to relieve the effects of PTSD and trauma. This is a highly effective approach that helps to release you from the pain of your past.

My approach is trauma informed. To me trauma is anything that puts your nervous system in a prolonged state of survival mode. I help my clients develop better language around their feelings and body sensations, to better understand what their needs are. Horses help with this process immensely, they are prey animals and exist close to their instincts but still live in the moment and desire peace.
