I offer a caring and healing place for children and families to find solutions and hope. In practice for over 30 years, I offer unique, highly effective horse-assisted therapy in Milton, FL, specializing in adolescent & preteen girls and women. Our property connects to many trails in the Blackwater Forest where patients can experience amazing, healing natural beauty and peace. I also see children, families, and couples in my office in Gulf Breeze. I offer the resources & support needed to help your child and family find happiness, confidence, and success.
Specializing in child & family therapy, I use cognitive therapy, behavior analysis, & other individualized therapeutic methods to help children, adolescents, women, & families find success with ADHD, academic/learning difficulties, depression, anxiety, traumas & many other issues. Kids & families love my Equine-Assisted Therapy & therapeutic nature walks.
I integrate traditional & holistic healing methods, animal-assisted therapy with both horses & dogs, and our natural surroundings to facilitate stress-free healing in a peaceful environment. I have a quiet office in Gulf Breeze and a wonderful, trail-filled, wooded property with horses in Milton.
