Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy
​
Horses are prey animals, and for survival, they have developed the skills needed to tune into the energy of their environment, fellow herd mates, as well as potential predators. Because of this highly developed skill, horses are also able to connect to the energy that humans bring into their space. When this connection occurs, horses respond accordingly, and bring things into our conscious awareness that need work, or to be healed.
Somatic Experiencing
​
In Somatic Experiencing, we look at how trauma becomes stored, and stuck, within the body and nervous system. I assist people in working through the fight, flight, and freeze responses in order to help release the trapped energy of trauma and stress. This can help people increase their awareness of how their own nervous system responds to different situations, and learn how to track the response throughout the body, in order to complete the energy release cycle.
Existential-Humanistic Approaches
​
Existential-humanistic approaches explore the experiences of the whole person, rather than placing focus on clinical diagnoses and behaviors. Humans have the ability to self-heal within supportive relationships, as well as find meaning and purpose from their experiences.
