As an animal lover and survivor of pet loss, I understand the deep connection between people and our animal companions. Pets accept us for who we are; their acceptance is nonjudgmental, forgiving and uncomplicated. My focus is on helping others through this uniquely challenging time, oftentimes alongside my pug Olive who is always very eager to assist in this healing process. I believe that healing results from treating the whole person and approach therapy from a strength-based perspective, highlighting individuals' intrinsic strengths and awakening their own ability to heal. I draw upon 'mindfulness-based' cognitive therapy when helpful. Pet loss therapy helps assign meaning to this loss and provides participants with a greater understanding of the grief process.
