I am a Registered Psychologist with a focus on nature and equine-assisted therapy approaches. Instead of conducting my therapy sessions in an office setting, I typically work with clients outside in the presence of gentle horses. I rely on an Integrative Approach to therapy, leaning heavily on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Internal Family Systems Therapy approaches. I provide online sessions upon request.
I work with children, youth, and adults as they navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, ASD, ADHD, LGBTQ2S+ concerns, relationship challenges, parenting, and major life transitions.
I offer individual equine and nature-assisted therapy sessions at the Whitemud Equine Learning Centre Association (WELCA). I work with kids, youth, and adults outside which tends to calm the nervous system and creates a safe and enjoyable environment to work towards therapeutic goals and to assist them to become more grounded within the present moment.
I provide guidance, support, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches to help my clients as they navigate and find meaning in life's challenges. If you think these services could help you as you navigate your life transitions, please reach out. I would be honoured to support you on this journey.
