Welcome! Are you feeling anxious, frustrated, or sad? Are you a vet med professional dealing with the stressors found in veterinary medicine? Maybe perfectionism and imposter syndrome are trying to convince you that you're not good enough. While veterinary mental health is my main focus, I can help all clients with anxiety, stress, life transitions, and/or grief & loss. Not sure if therapy is what you need but might want wellness coaching? I can provide that too! Whether coaching or counseling, I take a non-judgmental, teamwork approach with clients. (Note: Support groups may also be available at times.)

I have 25 years of experience working in the field of mental health with the last 6 years working as a mental health professional in vet med. I understand the stressors and challenges of working in vet med. I also understand the stress of living in an ever-changing world. Whether you're in vet med or not, I can provide a supportive, compassionate space.

Together, we'll find ways to help you navigate the stressors in your life. If you'd like to learn more about me, you can email to schedule a free 15-min consultation to see if we're a good fit. Feel free to also watch my Welcome video. If you're an Associate in need of BBS hours, please contact me to see how I might be able to offer Clinical Supervision.
