Description

Therapy often causes feelings of nervousness because we are taking a risk in being vulnerable, having the courage to seek support and sharing our deepest thoughts and feelings. Emotional healing begins when we can acknowledge and work through what we are feeling. The only way out is moving through our emotional experiences, and I’m here to guide you. 
I work from a person-centered and holistic approach to address my client’s emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. I have a passion for helping clients through animal-assisted therapy both equine and canine.
