I’m Jessa– a therapist in private practice. Over the years, I’ve worked with clients of all ages and stages, but my current focus is adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and chronic health issues. My approach is eclectic, relational, client-centered, rooted in a deep passion for polyvagal theory and helping people create safety within their nervous systems. 

 

While I can’t imagine life without horses now, I wasn’t always a “horse person”. I came to the world of horses through watching my daughter ride and witnessing the healing power of horses unfold through her. That experience inspired me to learn more about these generous and powerful creatures, even though I was initially scared of them. I spent countless hours volunteering at the barn, reading books about horse behavior, and slowly learning to feel at ease in their presence. I share this because when I mention equine therapy, a lot of people tell me they are scared of horses. So, I completely understand! 

 

After attending one training about equine therapy, I was hooked and ultimately became certified in Eagala in 2022. Because of its unique and experiential nature, equine assisted learning and therapy often works where other, more traditional therapies have stalled. It’s an honor to hold space for clients while they enter the arena, form their stories, and find their answers, sometimes without saying a single word. Something magic and surprising always happens.
