Pet-Related Counseling

Our pets are an important part of our lives. Losing them can be like losing a family member. I can help you deal with the loss of a pet and work through grief, so you can celebrate your pet’s life in a way that honors the relationship you had together. I also help animal caregivers with chronic stress experienced from dealing with very challenging situations.
