She offers adjunct Equine Assisted Psychotherapy to clients involved in therapy with her and occasionally to Weekend Intensive participants. In addition to her professional qualifications, she is also highly committed to her own recovery and personal growth.
As an author, and as a therapist and facilitator, she
gently and appropriately blends together her personal experience and
professional
She also offers presentations and facilitates training workshops for other therapists on various topics, including working with incest/sexual abuse survivors, and working with challenging oppositional and delinquent adolescents in outpatient settings. She utilizes a down to earth yet professional style, in both her therapy practice and her training, that allows the participants to feel comfortable and relaxed. As an author she maintains this same style in a manner that helps the reader/listener to identify and challenge their own ineffective coping techniques while building new skills and strengthening the resources they already possess.
