Let Us Be the Bridge to Your Brilliance
IS THIS YOU?
You want to understand and work through your complex trauma, bringing your unconscious childhood attachment issues to consciousness where they can be changed for the better. You want to start creating healthier, more satisfying ways of being in relationship -- because life is truly all about relationships. You know there’s a better way, but just can’t quite figure out where to start. You want to start living a conscious and purposeful life, but you're feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns.
You want a counselor who specializes in illuminating the darkness, bringing it into the light to be revealed and healed. Someone who truly sees you. Someone who acknowledges and accepts all your parts. A therapist who is not afraid to go deep into those shadowy places with you, holding the torch to help guide you into a new way of being. A therapist who will tell you not what you want to hear but what you NEED to hear -- with compassion, empathy, and a deep personal understanding of what you’re going through. A highly sensitive person. Someone who knows how hard it is to do all this inner alchemy, but who also knows from experience that the deep excavation that leads to transformation is worth it. Someone who will support you all the way through your grief and pain, but also tell you (from a place of love) when you’re messing up. A counselor who can also give you spiritual support and intuitive guidance. A co-creator on the road to profound healing and personal growth.
You are motivated to change and dedicated to the process. You have the courage to see it through. You are interested in experiential methods of learning to help you shift your awareness in order to change your behavior. To make better choices. To move forward. You want to be able to practice new, healthier ways of being, experimenting in a judgment-free zone to see what works for you. You want to explore and experience being in right relationship (with all beings, including yourself).
You are intrigued by the idea of being in a therapy session with horses. You love being outside in nature. You like animals (maybe better than people). You will commit to an hour of co-creation with me (and the horses) once a week for at least 12 weeks (12 therapy hours) in our beautiful, peaceful sanctuary.
If this is you, then I want to work with you.
I help my clients transform, transmute, and integrate their Shadow Parts so that they can step into the brilliance they are meant to embody -- and Shine!
And the good news is, horse experience is not required. In fact, it is best to arrive with a beginner’s mind.
At Black Horse Spirit and Edoras Farm, we care about you, your family, and your story. You can trust that we will treat you with respect, dignity and compassion in every interaction, while maintaining the highest standards of integrity and ethics.
It's time to reclaim your sovereignty.
Let's collaborate. Let us be the bridge to your brilliance. The things you can learn about yourself from the other-than-human world are extraordinary. And even though we are doing deep work, we think therapy can be fun, even joyful at times. After all, we learn and retain better when we are at play. Sometimes it can feel so enjoyable that you don't even notice the shift right away.
