“This was an amazing experience for me. I would say it is like having 10 years of therapy in just one session. Being with the horses is very healing.”

Forever in Our Hearts, 09.02.25

Welcome to Willow Ranch! I am a certified eagala practitioner. For over twenty-five years I have worked with children, adolescents, and families to facilitate educational and therapeutic change to increase resiliency and provide an opportunity for a more hopeful future through the use of a client centered trusting relationship and evidence-based therapies and practices. My philosophy of care is based on a desire to seek to understand each person seeking help. I practice from an experiential and cognitive-behavioral framework, based in theology and psychology.

Together we will explore one's spiritual, relational, physical and emotional wellbeing. Through a therapeutic relationship you will identify beliefs, develop goals, and work toward positive change.
