In my long career as a parent, a therapeutic horseback riding instructor, a school counselor and a psychologist, I have learned the following truths:
We are all on our path, always striving to heal ourselves.
Emotion is the language of the body, communication to our soul.
We can recognize where we need to go, by following our enthusiasm.
It is okay to ask for what you need and receive help and encouragement.
We learn and heal best through play, making mistakes, and trying again.
All situations can be turned therapeutic.
You may feel you have lost your way, or that your feelings and emotions are running away with you. You may not know what to do with yourself, or with your child. You may have lost your enthusiasm for life, or don’t know how to ask for what you need. Or maybe you are so afraid of making a mistake.
I understand, I have been there, too. And you can find your enthusiasm as well, as a human being, as a parent, as child, a partner, a friend or a co-worker. I can help you find the building blocks you need to build your better life. Let’s talk and play this out together.

Dr. Last is an incredibly mindful therapist who has been a huge part in helping me feel back in my body, and putting things in perspective for me. She practices mindfulness with me during our sessions and pays attention to what I'm saying and i never feel like she is disengaged from the conversation

I've been seeing Dr Last for the last several months. In that time she helped me quite a bit. I was in a rough spot when I started and with her help I've changed for the better and it's thanks to her.
