Welcome to Core Values Counseling

Why counseling? Why now?

IMG_9676Life is often overwhelming, relationships are always complicated, but when things seem to be in such a state that you cannot untangle the issues or feel like you are unable to deal with the situation, then counseling may be the answer.

Whether you are looking for someone to walk through a current transition of a life stage, having difficulty in your relationship, needing help with parenting a troubled teen, or are currently in crisis, I am willing and able to help process and untangle situations that seem confusing and unmanageable.

Equine Assisted Therapy

IMG_2522Equine Assisted Therapy is incorporating the experiential use of horses in therapy for the purpose of emotional growth and learning. It is a collaborative effort between a therapist, a professional horse specialist, the horses and the client(s). This is an experiential mode of therapy, which means it is based on activities on the ground with the horses. These activities can then be processed to understand emotions, behaviors, and patterns which can lead to change.

Horses are highly sensitive animals, so they mirror the emotions we bring into the arena; drawing out information we may not even know or be aware of.

Personal
Counseling is directly informed by my personal life. My husband and I have been happily married since 1982. Helping others to maintain healthy marriages is one of our passions. Another passion is raising our three boys. Though they are now grown, we clearly remember the joys and difficulties of all phases of parenting. Community is our focus; be it through our children and their friends, young couples we mentor through church or building strong familial relationships.

 

Other hobbies of mine are scrapbooking, coffee with friends, entertaining and staying fit. I love to sing and enjoy attending musical events as well.
