Two places to begin

Whether we are sitting together in the therapy room or working alongside horses, our foundation is relational, trauma-responsive, and attentive to the connection between mind and body.

For some people, talking helps things come into focus. For others, noticing posture, sensation, connection, and response in real time can offer another way in. We will talk through what feels workable and set a pace together.

We make room for experience, not just explanation.

Somatic Therapy
A body-aware way to work with what your nervous system may still be carrying.
Equine-assisted Psychotherapy
Experiential therapy alongside horses, with observation, interaction, and reflection.
Neurocounseling
Neuroscience-informed support for understanding patterns and nervous-system regulation.
Brainspotting
A focused approach for working with experiences that can be difficult to put into words.

Making connection. Making strides in the Triangle.

We can begin with what is happening now and find a way of working that feels possible.
