Individual Counseling
Why horses?
I’ve been riding and showing horses since I was six years old. Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) allows me to combine my love of horses (and all animals - there will be donkeys & cats!) with my passion for helping people. You’ll learn to have healthy boundaries, connect to your bodies sensations and emotions, have connected relationships, and so much more.
EAP is an experiential approach to therapy. If you’ve ever heard of learning by doing, an experiential approach is similar. Rather than talking about what has happened, we use expressive tools and activities to recreate or reenact emotional experiences. This can open doors that other approaches won’t.
In EAP, as you build a relationship in real time with a horse, your patterns of interactions with another surface. We can see how these serve or do not serve you well. This helps highlight places you need to heal your relationship with yourself. From there, we can move to how you relate to others.
