Great to meet you!

My faith is a cornerstone to who I am. I love to be outside with my horses, chickens and my donkey. I enjoy working with animals as part of the therapy team with in person clients. I believe a holistic and slower pace of life even if it just one hour does the body and soul good. I have a back ground in equine assisted therapy working with youth and adults who are working on emotional regulation, anxiety, and PTSD. I also have experience helping people with chronic diseases, caring for their aging parents and grief and loss.

My approach to therapy

I focus on a holistic approach incorporating various tools to assist with calming the body and brain into a peaceful state using sound therapy and other grounding techniques. I draw on my experience as a diabetes educator, grief and loss group facilitator, high school teacher, and equine assistance success coach.

What you can expect from me

In our first session you will share with me what you expect your life to look like at the end of our professional relationship and what you want help with at this time. We will use this information to develop a map or plan for our time together. We will decide where we are starting and where we want to end. I will then develop a treatment plan for the in-between with your partnership. This is your ship, you decide where to steer it and what is important to you.
