Great to meet you!

Of the many types of relationships that I specialize in, the one dearest to my heart is the relationship between dog and human. With our beloved animals, there exists a special bond that many people are fortunate enough to experience in their lives. Out of this special attachment comes pure joy, but it can also lead to wrenching heartache.

Having both personal and professional experience with pet loss grief, I want to assure you that you are not alone. I have personally navigated and worked through the difficult emotions associated with losing my beloved companion(s).

As a licensed mental health counselor, I am passionate about serving others, young and older, who might need support after losing their friend. Through telehealth sessions, I provide unconditional warmth, compassion, and empathy, creating a safe space for you to share your story and gain support as you navigate the next steps in your healing journey.

My approach to therapy

Compassionate grief support for those navigating the profound loss of a beloved animal companion. Offering a safe, non-judgmental space to honor your bond, process your pain, and find gentle ways forward.

What you can expect from me

One of the most important parts of healing is having a space where your grief is witnessed. While every individual is different, I often provide gentle guidance, helping others to share their pet's story, process the loss & feelings, identify and participate in their own active healing tasks, and explore ways to carry your bond forward.
