Pet Loss and Grief Counseling - Nationwide
Losing a beloved pet can be one of the most heart-wrenching experiences in life. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with specialized training in Pet Loss Grief Counseling, I understand the profound sense of isolation and overwhelming emotions that can accompany this journey. With over five years dedicated to supporting pet parents through their grief, I offer a compassionate and safe space where you can explore your feelings, whether it's sadness, guilt, or trauma associated with the loss or anticipated loss of your furry friend. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, ensuring that you receive the support you need to begin healing.
I have extensive experience working with a diverse range of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and even more unconventional pets like ferrets and hedgehogs. No matter the size or species, I recognize the unique bond you share with your pet, and I am here to help you navigate this difficult path. My services are available both in-person and online, allowing you to access support from the comfort of your home or wherever you feel most at ease.
Your grief is valid, and with the right guidance, healing is absolutely possible. I am fully insured and committed to providing a nurturing atmosphere where you can feel understood and supported. Whether you're dealing with the loss of a small pet like a gerbil or a larger companion like a horse, I am here for you every step of the way. Ready to get started? Book through Petworks today!

What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?
One tip I often share is to truly honor the routines and small moments with your pet—they become some of the most meaningful memories after a loss. Taking time to be present during everyday interactions, like walks or quiet time together, not only strengthens your bond but also helps ease grief later, knowing you were emotionally connected and intentional in your time together.
What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!
One thing I want pet parents to know is that I understand how real and painful the loss of an animal companion can be, and I provide a supportive, judgment-free space to work through that grief. I currently offer virtual sessions for residents of DC, Maryland, North Carolina, and Virginia, making compassionate care accessible wherever you are.
