Frequently Asked Questions

Horse medicine is a phenomenon that takes place when humans and horses take time to intentionally connect. When we become part of the herd, we can drop the stories and embody the present moment which often leads to deep nervous system regulation, emotional release and healing. While it is not the job of the horse to heal us, there is something that takes place when we tap into their way of being, with the intention of connection and understanding. 

While I do have a background in clinical mental health counseling, I call the work that I do " equine guidance" due to the fact that I am not diagnosing or treating mental illnesses, nor am I operating under a state licensing body. My focus is on the deep inner work that will benefit us as individuals which will then translate to the well-being of all beings we come in contact with. 

I am currently serving the Sedona, Arizona area and will soon be working around Los Angeles, California. If you are in the vicinity of either, feel free to reach out regarding my mobile sessions. 

I have a master's degree in mindfulness-based transpersonal clinical mental health counseling and have been licensed as a counselor in the state of Arizona. I have also completed advanced clinical trainings in various modalities and subjects. Most recently I have undergone training in Compassionate Bereavement Care with Dr. Joanne Cacciatore and I continue to do work at the Selah Carefarm in Cornville, Arizona. Additionally, I have been deeply involved in horse medicine healing.

While I personally love to ride, I do not offer rides to the public. The focus of my work with others is on how we can work towards emotional, mental and spiritual wholeness in the presence of the horses.
