She competed in championship rodeo’s growing up and is returning to the ranch now to combine her love for horses with her love for helping others. With Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, and Horse Powered Reading® clients are provided treatment in a safe setting. Clients don’t have to know how to ride. The horse partners with the therapist and client to offer feedback, boundaries, build trust, develop reading skills, and so much more.

Why do we use animals? 

The incorporation of animals in treatment, especially horses aids in the healing of emotional and behavioral conditions. Horses offer comfort, consistency and nurturing to support the mind and body. These animals sense your emotions and reflect them back to you. An opportunity for discussion is created without being overwhelming. This type of therapy is known to regulate the nervous system, cultivate social learning, healthy connections, promote secure attachments, and enhance the client-therapist relationship.
