Therapist Overview
I have had the pleasure of working with the special needs community in Hampton Roads, incorporating nature-based and animal assisted therapies into daily living since 1989. Combining both traditional in-office counseling and outdoor connections is how I truly believe people are meant to live. Using solution-focused, nature-based and equine facilitated therapies, I can help you discover your strengths and move forward in creating a healthier and more productive space in which to live. I have over 50 years experience with horses and other farm animals and have incorporated this knowledge into my Counseling practice. Equine Facilitated Learning and Psychotherapy allows for meaningful dialog between client and counselor. Feelings we sometimes are reluctant to share can often be addressed through contact with animals. I am committed to wellness and connection. I love being with our horses, gardening and the outdoors and find that this gives a greater connection to the earth and our world. W
