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.
When talking is not the whole answer
We work with trauma, anxiety, and relationship concerns that can leave you feeling stuck in the same response—even when you understand why it is happening.
- TraumaYou may feel on alert, disconnected, numb, or pulled back into experiences you thought were behind you.
- AnxietyYour thoughts may race, worry may not let up, or your body may have trouble settling and sleeping.
- Relationship PatternsThe same distance, conflict, communication problems, or roles may keep appearing in the relationships that matter most.
Making connection. Making strides in the Triangle.
