About
I believe in the healing benefits of the human/animal bond. I specialize in nature and animal-assisted therapy and equine-assisted therapy. I believe in working "outside of the box," of the traditional office-based setting by providing an alternative, experiential approach to child/adolescent counseling. Clients partner with their animal companions while interacting in nature's great outdoors. I have expertise in working with children with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, behavioral concerns, LGBTQ+, issues of divorce, and blended families.
I am passionate about the healing benefits, wisdom gained and positive growth that occurs from interacting with animals and nature. The metaphors and wisdom shared in a session with a horse or dog is a deeply powerful and moving experience for clients. **During this time of social distancing, I am offering HIPAA compliant telehealth video sessions.**
I look forward to collaborating with and helping all of my clients to reach their goals and live each day to their fullest potential.
