Horses offer both a grounding presence and an honest reflection of how we show up. Whether you are working through relationship struggles, grief, trauma, depression, or just feeling stuck, we can work with present-moment connections to experiment with new ways of being. I am a licensed mental-health counselor candidate (LPCC) with an MA in Nature-Based Transpersonal Counseling from Naropa University. I work with youth and adults at Medicine Horse in Longmont, Colorado, to offer equine-facilitated psychotherapy in partnership with our herd of animals. I also offer nature-based sessions in Boulder County.
I offer individual, family and group psychotherapy. I nonjudgmentally support my clients to understand their own emotional and relationship patterns, through present-moment, experiential interactions with our herd of horses. As highly sensitive, relational and grounded animals, horses are particularly good at helping us understand ourselves.
Over time, you will explore and try out new patterns and habits, integrating those experiences back into the ways you show up in your daily life. Reach out for a free 30 minute in-person meeting and tour of the ranch! From there, you can decide if this work might be the right fit for you.

I had the privilege of studying with Michael, whose grounded, compassionate energy brings calm to those around him. His equine-facilitated psychotherapy beautifully weaves connection, nature, and healing. I highly recommend working with him and his herd!

Integrating Gestalt, somatic and attachment-based frameworks, I work with our present-moment, embodied, experiential interactions to help you build more awareness around your emotional and relational patterns in your life. Instead of leading with judgment or advice, I'll support you to work with animals to explore on your own the shifts you want to make in those patterns.
