About

Feeling burned out, anxious, or numb? Grieving the loss of your beloved pet? Struggling with things that conflict with your sense of what’s right? Reeling from multiple losses? You don’t have to navigate alone. I offer compassionate, research-based therapy for adults facing such, specializing in support for veterinary and animal welfare professionals and pet parents. I also have expertise supporting neurodivergent women and people with living with chronic illness and medical trauma. I’ll help you build on your strengths, gently support your body’s nervous system, and use simple coping skills to move toward what matters most to you. I’m a licensed clinical and veterinary social worker with 20+ years experience and a certified Wellness Coach through Harvard Medical School. I have advanced training in Trauma-Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (TF-ACT), an evidence-based way to help you take empowered, self-compassionate action toward your best life and what matters most to you.
