Get to know and like your authentic self

Equine-Assisted Therapy is a unique approach to psychotherapy that provides an opportunity to connect with yourself in new ways.

“An intuitive by nature, I have always been deeply attuned to the realm of nature and animals. This trait became evident when at age eight, I was suddenly in need of real inner healing as well as physical healing. I was struck by a truck and suffered a massive head trauma that left me frightened and unable to process what had happened to me. 

It was through my loving grandfather that my path in life was forever changed; he bought a horse for me in the hopes that this gentle giant would somehow help to calm me and give me something to hold onto. 

“Mike” became my best friend; I rode him every day from morning until night, and before long I could sense my fears melting away. I always knew horses play an important role in emotional healing. Working with horses is how I am able to connect a client with their own inner child and lead them to understand themselves and those close to them – to let go and allow love to flow and heal. 

There is a saying, “Perfect love casts out all fear”. This is my goal in helping others. 

I believe in creating a compassionate and supportive space where we can utilize mindfulness, guided visualization, and equine-assisted therapy to deepen our self-awareness. 

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). My own horses, Cezar and Panther, are used for equine therapy at a stable in Caledon, just north of Toronto. I also do regular psychotherapy sessions at my home practice in Woodbridge, Ontario.  

I can help you with a wide range of concerns, including family conflict issues, communication difficulties, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, low self-esteem, abuse, grief and loss, behavioural and emotional regulation, and co-dependancy.

I offer private sessions, small group workshops, and full-day wellness retreats.
