| Practice Description: I enjoy working with people who are struggling with spiritual issues, family or relationship problems, depression, life transitions, stress-management, family of origin or childhood problems, personal growth or who are just wanting to find deeper meaning in their lives.
I integrate my knowledge of body movement and spirituality as well as my traditional education in the counseling profession. I find that expression through dream work, movement and art is wonderfully effective in opening the door to new levels of awareness and energy.
I
am also trained in Equine
Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP)
and when possible I will use
horses to work with
individuals, families or
groups. Horses can tell us
much about who we are
and how we communicate and
interact with others because
they are so intuitive and
sensitive to our unconscious
body language.
My office is privately located between Bend and Sisters and provides a great space for using art and movement.
