​Psychotherapy with Equine Interaction at Moonlight Ranch

​​Therapy takes place outdoors or in the barn, with the option to be alongside horses, donkeys, and goats (chickens and rabbits too!) offering opportunities for growth and healing through interaction and relationship with the animals and environment, learning to listen to your body and emotions in the moment, and experimenting with responding to challenges in new ways. I meet with children, adolescents, and adults who deal with a range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress and conflict, school, work, or relationship issues, life transitions, grief and loss, as well as the impact of trauma and are seeking support with navigating stressful life experiences and emotions.

Equines and Therapy

At Moonlight Ranch, the health and welfare of the animals and people are central to what we offer, and no matter the therapeutic approach, we support safe, honest, and regulated experiences. My approach to therapy is non-blaming, collaborative, and curiosity-driven, and interaction with the horses and donkeys (equines) can enhance therapy through providing an experiential, embodied, and relational experience. The equines are respected as having their own wants, needs, personalities, histories, preferences. They have much to offer as they are also highly social and emotionally attuned animals, demonstrating lessons about relationship, cooperation, leadership, regulation, and authenticity, and interaction can help increase our self-awareness and nonverbal communication skills, among other things.
