Life is sometimes unexpectedly difficult and suffering can be inevitable. However, how you respond to life circumstances can drastically change your ability to enjoy life. I have worked with those that believed in lies about themselves after a traumatic incident, childhood, or their own minds. These lies can be crippling and result in anxiety, depression, addictions, school related difficulties, stress, anger, parenting, communication difficulties, relational issues, family problems, job dissatisfaction and more. I provide different perspectives that encourage personal healing and relief. Change your mind change your life

Has life become overwhelming to you? Do you question yourself or your ability to be a loving spouse, friend, or parent? Is your child's challenging behaviors or your own traumatic childhood getting in the way of your dreams? Are you raising an adopted or foster child with a trauma history or unexplainable difficult behaviors? Has any of these caused you to feel secretly depressed and/or fearful that no one will understand or even really care?

When nothing you try is working and life just isn't getting any better, my horses and I can help. Your session will start with increasing awareness of your body and emotions through a series of mental exercises and physical movements. When we have identified the day's concern, we will move to the barn. You will be introduced to one of our well-trained horses and you will be taught the skills needed to make improvements in your life. This could include anything from standing and talking next to the horse all the way to interacting with the horse in a small arena.

I like to use cognitive behavioral therapy to teach my clients how to control their thoughts and emotions.
