PATH Intl ESMHL
Ruth, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a PATH International Equine Specialist in Mental Health & Learning, brings a mixture of patience, structure, and humor to all of her sessions. Drawing on her long experience in education, Ruth collaborates with her client’s family to develop effective communication with schools.
As her clients develop voice, personal expression, and self-regulation, Ruth encourages clients to discover newness and to find the mettle to try new inter/intra personal skills. Having always enjoyed horses and their contributions to the context of relationship building, Ruth, the horses, and her clients work to generalize the breakthrough moments that occur during interaction at the barn into practical goals for life outside the herd.
