Life can feel overwhelming at times—balancing relationships, parenting, work, and big life changes can leave you feeling stretched thin. At Mane Source Counseling, we focus on helping you reconnect with your strengths, clarify your goals, and find meaningful ways forward. Nestled in a peaceful setting close to nature, we offer both office-based and farm-based environments that provide space for reflection, growth, and renewal. Whether you're exploring coaching, wellness immersions, or therapy, our unique approach allows you to tap into the calming and restorative power of nature as part of your journey toward balance and well-being
Our equine co-therapists provide a safe, supportive space to explore and expand your vision for the future. We offer individual and family therapy, equine-assisted licensure supervision, team-building workshops, and personal growth experiences to foster both professional and personal development.
Spending a day on the farm building connections with horses can boost self-esteem, strengthen confidence, and reduce stress. If you're not ready to dive into therapy, a one-day coaching workshop with us might be the perfect way to take that first step toward growth and renewal.

I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, and incorporate therapy with the help of animals, nature, and arts into most of my client's treatment. We also engage in psychoeducation of the nervous system and how this impacts mental health. We will go over what feels right for you!
