WHAT IS EQUINE-FACILITATED THERAPY?

Since the 1990s, Equine Therapy has grown into a widely respected form of support for individuals living with a range of physical and mental health conditions. It has been especially helpful for those with physical disabilities as well as those dealing with psychological issues. The horses I work with are specially trained to ensure a safe and enriching experience, their calm and intuitive nature helping to create a space where you can truly feel at ease. My goal is to offer a comfortable, non-clinical environment, set outdoors amid the soothing sights and sounds of nature, in the presence of these incredible animals. This therapeutic approach allows you to explore personal challenges in a meaningful way, at your own pace, free from the intensity of traditional talk therapy. Whether we’re working together as a team, or alongside your family or other support systems, I’m here to foster a nurturing setting that feels just right for you.

Treatment Modality

I bring a compassionate Evidence Based treatment approach with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, assisted with motivational interviewing when approaching my client and family members during the treatment process. My aim is to encourage the client to and reflect their challenges in a safe positive environment with the help of horses.
