Co-Creative Coaching, Counseling, and Consulting

Co-Creative Coaching, Counseling, and Consulting was originally founded as a coaching practice and has transformed into counseling and consulting with the addition of training and education focusing on the issues individuals and groups who suffer from various adverse experiences. The addition of a canine partner has become the cornerstone of my work including my dissertation which studied the benefits of canine partners enhancing the work with first responders and other traumatized populations. Working as a volunteer for Animal Assisted Therapy, Inc  and NATIONAL Crisis Response Canines has increased my expertise with working with a canine partner. One of the first areas of training and practice was with Dr. Wallace Sife and the Association of Pet Loss and Bereavement (APLB). The loss of a pet is a major area of grief for many people. "I believe we become closer to our pets than many human family members. They are the unconditional love and acceptance that we all need in our lives."
