Hello there! I am so glad that you landed on my page! Maybe you or a child are experiencing anxiety, going through a life change, experiencing grief and loss, or encountering difficulties at school or work. Participating in therapy with me and my animal therapy partners is a balance of experiencing through action, processing through talking, play or creativity, and reflection that brings you to a healing narrative about yourself and your world. My therapy dog and I are here to lend a helping hand (and paw) to encourage your healing process.
I offer Canine & Equine Assisted Therapy, along with play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma therapy and mindfulness. I also offer special consultation and dog training in the areas of therapy and service dogs, and am a graduate of Karen Pryor Academy, a world renown canine training academy.
I offer both online and in person options at my office in Northern Colorado Springs. I warmly welcome you to reach out to me and talk to me about your needs through a free 15 minute phone consultation. My practice is affirming and welcoming of clients of all gender identities, orientations, and cultures.
