Why Equine?
Animals do not lie, and can bring out parts of self that have been buried, blocked or shut down from trauma or life in general.
I decided to use my horse to support clients after recognizing how therapeutic that relationship can be in relation to trama.
I am hoping to make this affordable, accessible and healing. I do take insurance including OHP, Cinga, United, Optum, Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Providence, Cash pay with sliding scale possible.

Vision
My clinical vision is to see people open up and communicate with something bigger than self. The vision is to create a love/interest/foundation of taking care of self and others, while noticing emotion and how this could impact who/what is around us. This is a beautiful way to connect without needing words.
