My Approach to Helping

Welcome to the quiet. Every person has unique gifts and talents. As families and individuals learn to recognize and develop these God given abilities, life becomes more joy-full, more peace-full. We become people of hope, moving forward toward accomplishing our purpose. At all developmental stages and ages, there are very different ways of seeing and growing our talents and abilities. Come to the Stable is about each person's unique needs, goals, and passions. It is about creativity in dealing with challenges, and enjoying the process. Come to the Stable offers an occassion away from the noise; a moment in time to step back, observe, and look at life with new clarity. Many of life's challenges are compounded by our fast paced and highly technical culture. There is seperation from the natural world; 'nature deprivation'. Come to the Stable incorporates traditional counseling and education with access to the natural world by means of Animal-Assisted Therapies and
Nature/Horticulture-Assisted interventions. At all times, personal learning styles are considered, and individualized action plans created.
