About
Hi, I’m Janet. Finding a pet loss therapist who’s a good fit isn’t always easy, but the right connection matters. My approach is deeply compassionate, trauma-informed, evidence-based, gentle, and direct. I prioritize building a safe, trusting relationship with each client. I specialize in supporting veterinary and animal welfare professionals and those grieving pet loss. Drawing from “continuing bonds” and “dual process” grief frameworks and ACT Therapy for grief, I am here to support and walk beside you as you navigate the loss of your beloved animal. Whether you are actively grieving, experiencing anticipatory grief, or dealing with pet caregiving fatigue, I am here for you.
