Over twenty years as an ordained minister and equestrian I noticed how horses were helping me, so I developed Integrative Equine Therapy. In a non-clinical environment, a horse and IET Therapist create a safe space. We guide, encourage and support you in removing blocks, building new neural pathways from the trauma center to the conscious part of your brain, making it possible to respond rather than react to triggers. We call this "shifting perspective." With IET, you can find clarity of purpose, meaning and joy. Brown University's independent data on our therapeutic approach shows the success of IET. We work with all ages.

You are absolutely exhausted and utterly frustrated with the amount of ideas and tasks you have in a given day or week that you mean to start or pick back up, but don’t. You feel too tired, overwhelmed, unmotivated or emotionally spent. You don’t know where to start. It all feels equally important…and then you feel ashamed, guilty, and discouraged with the lack of forward movement; thoughts like “What is wrong with me? Why can’t I get it together?!” are regularly crossing your mind...

Over the past 14 years I have put together a unique system of problem solving and planning called "Growing The Whole Way". This system teaches how to think bigger and work with the mind, body, and spirit for better results in making change. It also supports taking care of yourself in the process. My workbook includes key concepts and practical strategies to help with motivation, organization, and meaningful planning. It also teaches efficiency along with follow through and self development. Once complete this book can become a personalized reference outside of session time. This system can also be used again for future goals.
