Large oak trees with Spanish moss and towering pine trees surround the pasture and the large pond that make up Horses Empowerment Rising Sanctuary in Effingham County, Georgia. Here, I have created a unique therapeutic wellness center in Guyton with cozy offices for clients, a playroom for play therapy, a barn and a pasture with my healing herd of three horses and a pony.

 

H.E.R. Sanctuary has been my dream for the past 15 years! I have created a safe and calming space for you, and You are my priority. My programs assess your needs, and we work together to achieve your goals. You can work with me in my office, with me and the horses in the pasture (as much or as little as you would like), or simply enjoy the natural surroundings. With the right help, you can overcome your challenges, fears and trauma, so that you can feel empowered to live the life of your dreams!

I have been counseling children, teens, adults, couples and families for 16 years, and I have been practicing in Effingham County since 2008. I'm excited to be able to continue to help individuals grow into their strength at H.E.R. Sanctuary.

I am a lifelong resident of Effingham County, and have always wanted to help others find joy and beauty in their lives. Through childhood trauma, and my own struggles with anxiety and depression, I became passionate about helping others heal and grow. It is important for me to make a difference in the lives of those around me, and I am excited to be a part of the wonderful team at H.E.R. Sanctuary!

Healing Herd

Our healing herd includes three horses and one pony who all love getting treats.  Their unique personalities and personal stories help people to address their problems, struggles and past abuse or trauma. They can't wait to meet you!
