EQUINE THERAPY: HANDS-ON, CERTIFIED, PROFOUND

hands on

Equine Therapy is a somatic and experiential therapy that invites you to feel through emotions, instead of just thinking through emotions.

Sessions are always high-quality, safe, and professional. My therapy license includes multiple equine therapy certifications, and I strive to provide you with an outstanding Equine Therapy experience from start to finish.

A horses nervous system is highly tuned for connection and safety. Their keen ability to perceive the unseen emotional world makes them excellent mirrors to our hearts. With them, we’re invited to slow down, breathe deeper, and remember what it’s like to feel.

CURRENT EQUINE THERAPY PROGRAMS

RETREATS

Thoughtfully organized throughout each year, these retreats offer an heartfelt, deeper look at your emotions in an outdoor setting with horses, and me as your licensed equine psychotherapist. This is a great fit for those ready to go deeper, who need a reset, and who are ready to knock on the gates of their heart and seek answers.

I created this course, Back to the Basics, as a new way you can access the foundations for wholeness through equine experiences, right in your home. This course includes cinematically filmed videos of a live herd, music specifically attuned to healing frequencies, a corresponding workbook, and  insight around core themes in your life.

about me

I am so grateful to have grown up with horses my entire life. Early on, I began to notice how they could sense how I felt, sometimes even before I could. It was as if I had discovered a secret language all about emotions that existed among horses and humans, and I could learn to speak it! 


I believe that we are only at the beginning of understanding how much our emotions are expressed in nonverbal and verbal language. The more we can recognize what we carry and how we portray it, the closer we get to being able to connect to ourselves and those around us in meaningful ways.  


The bond with horses that I discovered as a child has only solidified in my adulthood. Many others now also recognize just how much horses understand and respond to emotions, and that there are many ways we can learn from horses to reconnect us to what matters most. 


Because of this, I have passionately pursued equine psychotherapy certifications, to melt seamlessly into my existing Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credentials. 


To be honest, this work is so apart of me that whether we are in the office or out in the fields, you will receive equine-inspired wisdom. It's simply impossible to separate it from me, and in many ways who I am as a therapist has been taught to me out in the pastures and within the herd. I am honored to engage in this work, and am forever shaped by the horses and humans in my life. 


IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU!
