In addition to my private practice, I  have been a PATH Intl. Certified Riding Instructor and LCSW at Rocking Horse Rehab (RHR). I developed RHR's equine assisted mental health services for those struggling with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Bi-Polar Disorder, and High Functioning Autism (Asperger's). 

 

My internationally known social skills training manual, Horsemanship/Humanship Skills: How Horses Make Us Better People, 

has been utilized by universities, including the University of Minnesota for curriculum development and at Prescott College’s equine assisted mental health program in Arizona.

​

Work with equines offers us the opportunity to learn and practice our coping skills in a non-judgmental atmosphere, practice mindfulness, personal safety, manage change and achieve balance in daily living. Although I am now retired from equine assisted therapies, I believe it presents an extraordinary opportunity for personal growth.

 

Professionally, I have presented at several PATH Intl. Conferences, as well as the NAMI Annual Conference. I supervised student interns from various colleges/universities and, in recent years, I have been a guest lecturer at Rutgers University in New Brunswick.
