Certified Pet Loss Bereavement Support - Nationwide
Specializing in affordable, compassionate pet loss grief support for adult pet parents (age 21+). Each session provides a safe, caring space to explore what you are experiencing as you grieve the loss of your cherished animal companion.
I am a Certified Pet Loss Bereavement Specialist and Mental Health Advocate, as well as a life-long animal lover and pet parent who understands how very difficult the loss of a beloved pet can be. As a result of my own grief journeys over the years, I am passionate about helping other pet parents as they navigate the many emotions and challenges that are a natural part of losing a best friend, constant companion, and much-loved member of the family.
Sessions are conducted via Zoom (please see my pricing packages below). The focus of each session is on good self-care and individualized coping/mental wellness strategies using an integrative approach that recognizes the cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and physiological aspects of loss.
For more information or to book a session with me, please start by sending me a description of your loss and the type of support you are seeking. I will be back in touch with you as soon as possible, usually within the same day if your inquiry is received before 9:00 p.m. Eastern time.
Thank you. I look forward to hearing from you and exploring how I can help support you at this delicate time.
Warmest regards,
Sandra

She’s the kindest person I ever met and that’s saying a lot since I’m a senior who taught thousands of children over the years.
- Pat GI had yet another phenomenal session with Sandra. She is very understanding. The first holidays without my girls over the last 15 to 17 years is the toughest. Sandra got me to realize that there are times that our sorrow may be stronger during certain times of the year during specific events, as we continue to go through the grieving process. I am looking forward to our next session.
