I am not a human therapist, psychologist or counselor, but am a certified Pet Loss Bereavement Specialist, companion animal doula and Certified Dog Behavior Consultant and Professional Dog Trainer who specializes in fear and aggression. This combination means that I have helped many clients through pet loss, whether from natural aging, unexpected medical issues, accidents or behavioral euthanasia. 

Over the years, I have faced many end-of-life decisions with my own animal companions and can relate to the the decisions and grief that you are facing. I am here to support you and provide objective feedback, educational materials and/or additional resources to help you make fully informed decisions.

From the moment you get that terminal diagnosis for your pet, have another bad incident that makes you question how long this can go on or even as your dog is naturally aging, your grief process starts and continues through the moment you say goodbye and into the mourning period. My services are tailored for each client to provide the support you need at any given time, whether that is helping you communicate with your veterinarian, providing qualified guidance on behavioral euthanasia candidates, helping you objectively review quality of life assessments, discussing burial and cremation options or deciding the best ways to spend meaningful time with your pet. In addition to guiding you through the caretaking phase, I can help you plan memorials or projects to remember your beloved pet.
