"After over 50 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults in settings as diverse as prison and preschool, I have come to the conclusion that the root of most psychological suffering is a discrepancy between who we really are and who we have been expected to become or expect ourselves and others to be. This discrepancy between the "Self" and the personality we develop causes immense suffering within individuals, between individuals and in the culture as a whole. My goal is to help clients find their own truth or "Self" and live their lives from that place."

"Equine Assisted Psychotherapy is experiential, allowing clients to interact and connect with horses. Horses allow us a respite from thinking about ourselves. By their very nature horses encourage us to quiet our inner voice and react from our hearts and reconnecting with our non-verbal awareness of ourselves. Horses allow us to develop our capacity to trust ourselves. Equine therapy can increase confidence, empathy, self-actualization, kindness and assertiveness. Equine therapy can assist clients in the development of anxiety management skills, impulse control, independence, and emotional awareness. "

"I pride myself in finding creative engaging ways of working with clients. Talk therapy is only one tool of many, and words sometimes get in the way. If you are game we will find a modality specific to you your experience. This can mean incorporating art, writing, crafting, even cooking into our work. And yet I am keenly aware speaking your truth and being truly heard is one of the most profound of experiences. But in this modern electronic world it is an experience that happens less and less. Let us not underestimate the therapeutic value of a good conversation."

"Are you feeling stuck, fearful, and anxious? Do you see yourself continuing the same cycles or patterns over and over again? Toxic relationships, unhealthy patterns, poor self-care, and feeling like your emotions are in control of you may be some of what you're experiencing. Are you seeking a more immersive, healing experience? Are you open and ready for real change?"

"I work with adults who are committed to improving their personal and/or professional relationships. For most of us, how we feel about our life is directly related to the quality of our relationships, both at home and at work. If you have one (or more) important relationship that is consistently draining, you are likely in pain. We have all developed “emotional shields” as a way to keep ourselves safe from being hurt. Our ways of protecting ourselves in the present are often rooted in traumatic experiences we have had in the past. So, when our “buttons” are pushed, our “shields” go up and we automatically react. "
