Equine Therapy

I have a Master in Social Work from Portland State University. My goal is to provide safe and healthy therapeutic interactions between people and horses.  Horses can be great co-facilitators in mental health counseling because they are highly responsive and receptive to our states of being, our feelings and emotions.  I have been formally trained in EAGALA Model Equine Therapy.  My therapeutic frameworks include: Crisis Intervention, Principals of Empowerment, Life Stages Theory, Narrative Therapy & Motivational Interviewing.  Focus Areas include: PTSD, Addictions, Grief & Loss, Depression, Bi-Polar Disorder, Health & Wellness. 

I practice Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) & Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP). My practice allows for us to work on the ground or in the saddle while riding, whichever you prefer. At Corbett farm horses are our partners in Health, Healing, & Growth. Thanks to our indoor arena we can work rain or shine.
