Equine Assisted Therapy has arrived at DH 

​

Hannah joined DH in 2021.  She started as a volunteer and we quickly saw that there was much more to her than a volunteer.  We hired her as a lesson assistant, soon to promote her to Lesson Supervisor.  While she pursues her Masters and designations we have happily opened up her skill set to offer therapeutic riding and more.

Welcome!
I’m excited to begin my journey in the mental health field after recently graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Behavioural Sciences. I’m passionate about supporting individuals through client-centred Equine Assisted Therapy, as well as offering respite care, behavioural consultation, and modification services.

I have experience working with a diverse range of individuals, including those navigating ADHD, Autism, Depression, Anxiety, Suicidal Ideation, Self-Harm, Body Dysmorphia, grief, and trauma. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and a commitment to meeting each client where they’re at.

Equine Assisted Therapy holds a special place in my heart—having experienced its healing impact during my youth, I’ve been inspired to bring this powerful modality into my professional practice. Horses offer a unique opportunity for connection, reflection, and growth, and I’m honoured to facilitate this process with clients.

In every session, I strive to create a space that feels authentic, compassionate, and safe, while upholding strong ethical standards. I’m currently working toward my counselling certification with the Association of Counselling Therapy of Alberta. Once certified, I will be able to offer services eligible for insurance coverage.

I am here to support your mental health journey with care, dedication, and a client-centred focus.
