ABSTRACT
As a licensed clinical professional counselor and horse owner who specializes in EAP/EAL and human-animal interaction (HAI), my career involves diverse roles. After graduating with an undergraduate degree in applied psychology and a master’s degree in counseling psychology from Bemidji State University, I have gone on to explore opportunities and work in clinical practice, teaching, and research. I also became certified through Eagala (Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association) and opened a private practice, specializing in EAP. As a lifelong horse lover, I feel blessed to work in the field of EAP and AAI, helping people heal through this powerful work. I am also excited to be entering my second year of teaching as an adjunct psychology instructor at BSU, my alma mater.
